Finding the vertex of the parabola is important because it tells you where the bottom (or the top, for a parabola that 'opens' downward), and thus where you can begin graphing.
Graphing calculator was created in 1985.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals was created in 1989.
Vertex - company - was created in 1996.
Vertex - album - was created in 1996.
Prototroctes vertex was created in 2012.
The plural form of vertex is vertices or vertexes.
The difference between standard form and vertex form is the standard form gives the coefficients(a,b,c) of the different powers of x. The vertex form gives the vertex 9hk) of the parabola as part of the equation.
The vertex form of a quatdratic equation (otherwise called the graphing form) is y=a(x-h)2+k For those of you who don't know what 'h', 'a', and 'k' are, they are parameters. The negative sign in front of the 'h' refers to the opposite of the x coordinate in the vertex. The 'k' refers to the y coordinate in the vertex. 'A' refers to the stretch or compression factor. So, for example, say you have a parabola with a stretch factor of 2 whose vertex coordinates are (-3,4). The equation would be y=2(x+3)2+4 Of course, if a parabola has no stretch/compression factor, there would be no 'a' in the equation. I hope this helped, and good luck!
Do you have a specific vertex fraction? vertex = -b/2a wuadratic = ax^ + bx + c
its useful in graphing! equations, inequalities, ect pretty much graphing!
The vertex form for a quadratic equation is y=a(x-h)^2+k.
