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.
The plural form of vertex is vertices or vertexes.
Vertex - company - was created in 1996.
Vertex - album - was created in 1996.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals was created in 1989.
Prototroctes vertex was created in 2012.
Do you have a specific vertex fraction? vertex = -b/2a wuadratic = ax^ + bx + c
its useful in graphing! equations, inequalities, ect pretty much graphing!
Yes; "vertices" is the plural form of "vertex".
The vertex form for a quadratic equation is y=a(x-h)^2+k.
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!
