What else can I help you with?
What different information do you get from vertex form and quadratic equation in standard form?
The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. If you put the equation (or function) into vertex form, you can read off the coordinates of the vertex, and you know the shape and orientation (up/down) of the parabola.
What is the focus of a parabola?
The focus of a parabola is a fixed point that lies on the axis of the parabola "p" units from the vertex. It can be found by the parabola equations in standard form: (x-h)^2=4p(y-k) or (y-k)^2=4p(x-h) depending on the shape of the parabola. The vertex is defined by (h,k). Solve for p and count that many units from the vertex in the direction away from the directrix. (your focus should be inside the curve of your parabola)
What is the equation for vertex form?
The vertex form for a quadratic equation is y=a(x-h)^2+k.
How do you find the vertex from a quadratic equation in standard form?
look for the interceptions add these and divide it by 2 (that's the x vertex) for the yvertex you just have to fill in the x(vertex) however you can also use the formula -(b/2a)
How do you graph a quadratic equation?
A quadratic equation is an equation with the form: y=Ax2+Bx+C The most important point when graphing a parabola (the shape formed by a quadratic) is the vertex. The vertex is the maximum or minimum of the parabola. The x value of the vertex is equal to -B/(2A). Once you have the x value, just plug it back into the original equation to get the corresponding y value. The resulting ordered pair is the location of the vertex. A parabola will be concave up (pointed downward) if A is +. It will be concave down (pointed upward) if A is -. It is often helpful to find the zeroes of a function when graphing. This can be done by factoring or using the quadratic formula. For every n units away from the vertex on the x-axis, the corresponding y value goes up (or down) by n2*A. Parabolas are symetrical along the vertex, which means that if one point is n units from the vertex, the point -n units from the vertex has the same y value. As an example take the following quadratic: 2x2-8x+3 A=2, B=-8, and C=3 The x value of the vertex is -B/2A=-(-8)/(2*2)=2 By plugging 2 into the original equation we get that the vertex is at (2,-5) 3 units to the right (x=5) has a y value of -5+32*2=13. This means that 3 units to the left (x=-1) has the same y value (-1,13). If you need a clearer explanation, ask a math teacher.

What is the difference between standard form and vertex form?
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 of the parabola below is at the point (-4-2) which equation below could be one for parabola?
-2
What is the standard form of the equation of the parabola with vertex 00 and directrix y4?
Assuming the vertex is 0,0 and the directrix is y=4 x^2=0
Find equation what parabola its vertex is 0 0 and it passes through point 2 12 express the equation in standard form?
Y=3x^2 and this is in standard form. The vertex form of a prabola is y= a(x-h)2+k The vertex is at (0,0) so we have y=a(x)^2 it goes throug (2,12) so 12=a(2^2)=4a and a=3. Now the parabola is y=3x^2. Check this: It has vertex at (0,0) and the point (2,12) is on the parabola since 12=3x2^2
What is an equation of the parabola in vertex form that passes through (13 8) and has vertex (3 2).?
please help
What equation describes a parabola that opens up or down and whose vertex at the point (hv)?
This is called the 'standard form' for the equation of a parabola:y =a (x-h)2+vDepending on whether the constant a is positive or negative, the parabola will open up or down.
What is the standard equation of the parabola y3(x-4)2-22?
the standard form of the equation of a parabola is x=y2+10y+22
The vertex of the parabola below is at the point -3 -5 Which of the equations below could be the equation of this parabola?
2
What is the standard equation of a parabola?
There are two standard form of parabola: y2 = 4ax & x2 = 4ay, where a is a real number.
What is the standard form for a quadratic equation?
Normally a quadratic equation will graph out into a parabola. The standard form is f(x)=a(x-h)2+k
What is the focus of a parabola?
The focus of a parabola is a fixed point that lies on the axis of the parabola "p" units from the vertex. It can be found by the parabola equations in standard form: (x-h)^2=4p(y-k) or (y-k)^2=4p(x-h) depending on the shape of the parabola. The vertex is defined by (h,k). Solve for p and count that many units from the vertex in the direction away from the directrix. (your focus should be inside the curve of your parabola)
