How to find the vertex of a parabola in vertex form

The video tutorial explains how to solve a quadratic equation by finding its vertex and X-intercepts. It begins with an introduction to the problem and the standard form of a quadratic equation. The instructor then demonstrates how to identify the vertex using the standard form and clarifies common misconceptions. Next, the process of finding X-intercepts is discussed, highlighting the issue of non-real roots in this particular problem. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of imaginary roots, which will be covered in future lessons.
