What is standard form of a quadratic equation

The video tutorial introduces the quadratic form of an equation, explaining its structure as y = aX^2 + BX + C, where a, B, and C are real numbers, and a cannot be zero. It contrasts quadratic equations with linear equations, highlighting that if a equals zero, the equation becomes linear. The tutorial further explains the roles of coefficients and constants in these equations. Finally, it discusses the applications of quadratic equations, including using the quadratic formula, completing the square, finding the axis of symmetry, and graphing.
