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!

What is the definition of a Vertex form of a quadratic function?
it is a vertices's form of a function known as Quadratic
What is the difference between a linear quadratic and a quadratic quadratic?
There is no quadratic equation that is 'linear'. There are linear equations and quadratic equations. Linear equations are equations in which the degree of the variable is 1, and quadratic equations are those equations in which the degree of the variable is 2.
What are the similarities of quadratic equations and linear equations?

Why does quadratic equation called quadratic equation?
Quadratic equations are called quadratic because quadratus is Latin for ''square'';in the leading term the variable is squared. also...it is form of ax^2+bx+c=0
How are quadratic equations used in the real world?
There are many ways quadratic equations are used in the real world. These equations are used to calculate area, speed and profit
