What are the similarities and differences between the standard form and vertex form of a quadratic equation?

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is ax^2 + bx + c. Vertex form is a(x-h)^2 + k, which reveals the vertex and axis of symmetry. Factored form is a(x-r)(x-s), which reveals the roots.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
