Identify the vertex in vertex form with b

The video tutorial explains how to convert equations into quadratic form to find the vertex using transformations. It highlights the importance of identifying H and K in vertex form and discusses the complications introduced by the letter B in equations. The tutorial provides steps to factor out B to accurately determine the vertex and concludes with a caution about handling negative B values.

Describe the process of factoring out B in a quadratic function and its impact on finding the vertex.

Why is it important to be cautious with the negative sign in front of B when determining the vertex?
