Question

Hello! When using compelting the square, arent you just technically putting the standard form equation you have into vertex form?

Answer 1

In a regular algebra class, completing the square is a very useful tool or method to convert the quadratic equation of the form
`y = a {x^2} + bx + c y = ax2 + bx + c` also known as the “standard form”, into the form
`y = a [ (x - h)^2] + k y = a(x - h)2 + k` which is known as the vertex form.

Answer 2

standard to vertex form : s*v
