Determine the Vertex of a Quadratic Equation Using the Formula (-b/2a, f(-b/2a))

In order to find the vertex of an in standard form, the first two steps are to use the equation _____ to find the x value, and then you can plug that value back into the equation to find the _____.

• -b/2a, y-value

• (x-h)^2, y-intercept
  

• (x-r1), solution

• ax^2, vertex
