Find the vertex and x intercepts of a quadratic

The video tutorial explains how to find the vertex and X intercepts of a quadratic function. It begins with an introduction to quadratic functions and their standard form. The instructor then demonstrates how to convert a quadratic equation into standard form using the method of completing the square. The process involves ensuring the quadratic is in descending order, making the coefficient of the squared term one, and creating a perfect square trinomial. The video also covers finding the vertex of the function and using the quadratic formula to determine the X intercepts.
