Vertex Form and Quadratic Functions

The video tutorial explains how to find the equation of a quadratic function in both vertex and standard forms. It begins by identifying the vertex of the parabola and using it to substitute into the vertex form equation. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find the value of 'a' by selecting another point on the graph and solving the equation. Finally, it shows the conversion of the vertex form to the standard form by expanding and simplifying the equation.

What is the general form of a quadratic function in vertex form?

• f(x) = a(x + h)^2 - k

• f(x) = ax^2 - bx + c

• f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

• f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

In the vertex form of a quadratic function, what do 'h' and 'k' represent?

• The vertex coordinates

• The x-intercepts

• The axis of symmetry

• The y-intercepts

Given the vertex (4, -3), what are the values of 'h' and 'k'?

• h = 3, k = 4

• h = -4, k = 3

• h = 4, k = -3

• h = -3, k = 4

How do you determine the value of 'a' in the vertex form equation?

• By guessing the value

• By solving the equation directly

• By using another point on the graph

• By using the vertex coordinates

If a point (2, 5) lies on the graph, what equation can be used to find 'a'?

• 5 = a(2 - 4)^2 + 3

• 5 = a(2 + 4)^2 - 3

• 5 = a(2 - 4)^2 - 3

• 5 = a(2 + 4)^2 + 3

What is the value of 'a' if 5 = 4a - 3?

• a = 1

• a = 4

• a = 2

• a = 3

What is the first step in converting the vertex form to standard form?

• Multiply by 'a'

• Subtract 'h'

• Square the binomial

• Add 'k'

What is the result of expanding (x - 4)^2?

• x^2 - 16x + 8

• x^2 + 8x + 16

• x^2 + 16x - 8

• x^2 - 8x + 16

What is the final standard form of the quadratic function derived in the video?

• f(x) = 2x^2 - 16x + 29

• f(x) = 2x^2 + 16x - 29

• f(x) = 2x^2 - 8x + 29

• f(x) = 2x^2 + 8x - 29

What are the different names for the forms of quadratic equations mentioned?

• Vertex form and standard form

• Standard form and exponential form

• Standard form and linear form

• Vertex form and linear form
