A quadratic equation can be written in vertex form or standard form. Sometimes one form is more beneficial than the other. Identify which form would be more helpful if you needed to do each task listed below and EXPLAIN why. a. factor the equation
b. graph the parabola
c. identify the vertex, minimum, or maximum of the parabola
d. solve the equation using the quadratic formula

Any really

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Factor:

.. (x -h +√(-k/a)) * (x -h -√(-k/a))

b) Graph:

.. It is a graph of y=x^2 with the vertex translated to (h, k) and vertically stretched by a factor of "a".

c) Vertex and Extreme:

.. The vertex is (h, k). It is a maximum if "a" is negative; a minimum otherwise.

d) Solutions:

.. The quadratic formula is based on the notion of completing the square. In vertex form, the square is already completed, so the roots are

.. x = h ± √(-k/a)

c.
