Vertex Form Equivalent

Completing the square form is equivalent to the vertex form of a quadratic function.

Easy X-Intercept Identification

The factored form of a quadratic function readily shows the x-intercepts (roots) of the equation.

Easy Vertex Identification

The standard form of a quadratic function allows for easy identification of the vertex.

Purpose of Standard to Vertex

Rewriting from standard to vertex form reveals the coordinates of the vertex, providing insights into the maximum or minimum point of the parabola.
