Standard form to Vertex Calculator

Standard form of Quadratic equation is written as ax² + bx + c, where a, b and c are coefficients and x and y are variables. The vertex form of parabola or quadratic equation is written as y = m(x-h)² + k. To convert standard form to vertex form is done in 5 steps.

Example 1: Convert this parabola equation from standard to vertex form
2x² -28x+10.

Step 1 : 2x² – 28x + 10= 2(x² – 14x) + 10 (1^st two terms are factorized)

Step 2: -14/2= -7 , 7x7= 49 (coefficient of x term 14/2 and then squared)

Step 3: 2(x² – 14x + 49) + 10 - (49x2) (49 is added inside and its double is subtracted)

Step 4: 2(x² – 14x + 49) + 10 – 98 (Simplification)

Step 5: 2 (x-7)² – 88 (Parentheses converted to squared unit)

Example 2: Convert this parabola equation from standard to vertex form
2x² +12x - 4.

Step 1 : 2x² + 12x – 4= 2(x²+ 6x)- 4 (1^st two terms are factorized)

Step 2: 6/2= 3, 3x3= 9 (coefficient of x term 6/2 and then squared)

Step 3: 2(x² + 6x + 9) - 4 - (9x2) (9 is added inside and its double is subtracted)

Step 4: 2(x² + 6x + 9)- 4- 18 (Simplification)

Step 5: 2 (x-3)²-22 (Parentheses converted to squared unit)

I just want you to know how great Brinda has been in tutoring me on probability. She is patient and very knowledgeable in all concepts. I look forward to many more sessions with her. I appreciate her help and the great work that Tutor Pace is doing.

Your tutor has been such an inspiration to me as I have difficulty getting some of the physics concepts down and truly understanding them. She takes the time to fully explain each and every aspect of any problem I might ask for help and always with encouragement and humor.
