Vertex form of the quadratic equation

The vertex form allows us to identify, very easily, the vertex of the parabola and hence its name.

The vertex form of the quadratic function is:
Y=a(Xp)2+cY=a(X-p)^2+c

Suggested Topics to Practice in Advance

  1. Standard Form of the Quadratic Function
  2. Factored form of the quadratic function
