Finding Zeros and Extreme Values using Factored and Vertex Forms of Quadratic Functions

This video tutorial covers the use of quadratic functions in solving problems, specifically focusing on finding zeros and extreme values using factored and vertex forms. It introduces the concept of quadratic functions, explains how to find zeros by solving and graphing, and discusses the vertex form to find maximum and minimum values. The tutorial applies these concepts to a practical problem involving a rocket launched from a rooftop, demonstrating how to determine the rocket's maximum height and the time it takes to reach the ground.
