In vertex form, the parabola's equation is
Explanation:
To convert a parabola in standard form to vertex form, you have to make a squared binomial term (i.e.
These squared binomial terms -- take
In our parabola:
We have a part that looks similar to the expression we wrote before:
This is our parabola in vertex form. Here's its graph:
