Given an equation in vertex form determine the vertex

The video tutorial reviews the standard form of a quadratic equation and introduces the vertex form. It explains the significance of the vertex form, where the vertex is represented by H and K. The tutorial compares methods to find the vertex in both forms, highlighting the simplicity of the vertex form. An example problem is solved, demonstrating how to convert an equation to vertex form and identify the values of H and K.

What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

• F(x) = ax + b

• F(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + c

• F(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k

• F(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

In the vertex form of a quadratic equation, what do the variables H and K represent?

• The coefficients of x and x^2

• The vertex of the parabola

• The y-intercept

• The x-intercepts

How do you find the vertex of a quadratic equation in standard form?

• By using the formula -b/2a

• By using the formula a^2 + b^2

• By identifying the coefficients directly

• By setting x to zero
