Converting Quadratic Equations from Vertex to Standard Form

The video tutorial explains how to convert quadratic equations from vertex form to standard form. It begins with an introduction to the two forms and their equations. The instructor then demonstrates the conversion process using the FOIL method, providing two detailed examples. The video concludes with a summary and a preview of the next tutorial, which will cover converting from standard back to vertex form.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Finding the roots of quadratic equations

• Graphing quadratic functions

• Solving linear equations

• Converting quadratic equations from vertex to standard form

Which of the following represents the vertex form of a quadratic equation?

• y = a(x + h)^2 - k

• y = a(x - h)^2 + k

• y = ax + b

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

In the standard form of a quadratic equation, what does 'b' represent?

• The coefficient of x^2

• The coefficient of x

• The vertex of the parabola

• The constant term

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

• Graph the equation

• Use the FOIL method

• Combine like terms

• Distribute the constant term

When using the FOIL method, what does 'FOIL' stand for?

• First, Outer, Inner, Last

• Factor, Order, Integrate, Line

• First, Order, Integrate, Last

• Factor, Outer, Inner, Line

In the example problem, what is the value of 'a' in the standard form equation?

• 3

• 7

• -1

• 16

What is the final value of 'c' in the standard form equation from the example problem?

• 12

• 7

• 64

• -62

In the second example, what is the coefficient of x in the standard form?

• 6

• 12

• 3

• 7

Why is the constant term not distributed in the second example?

• It is already simplified

• It is not in parentheses

• It is a negative number

• It is part of the vertex form

What will the follow-up video cover?

• Finding the vertex of a parabola

• Solving quadratic equations

• Converting from standard form back to vertex form

• Graphing quadratic equations
