Finding Extreme Values and Symmetry using Vertex Form of Quadratic Functions

This video tutorial covers solving quadratic problems when the coefficient a is greater than one. It reviews the three forms of quadratic functions: standard, vertex, and factored. The tutorial explains the axis of symmetry and vertex, and demonstrates how to complete the square to convert quadratic equations into vertex form. It also shows how to use vertex form to find extreme values and lines of symmetry, emphasizing the importance of understanding the role of the coefficient a in determining the parabola's direction.
