Vertex Form
Key points
- Vertex form is a way to express a quadratic equation that makes the vertex easy to discern.
- f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k.
- The vertex is: (h,k).
- f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k.
Vertex Form is an alternative way to express the equation for a quadratic function. It is used to easily find the vertex of a parabola.
- Horizontal and vertical components (acceleration or velocity) are independent
- Vertex Form is as follows: f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k.
- The vertex is: (h,k).
- Be careful with the change of sign of h between the equation and the coordinate point.
