Week 9 – Equivalent Forms of the Quadratic Functions

This week in Pre-Calculus 11 we learned about equivalent forms of the quadratic functions, analyzing ax^2+bc+c, and applying what we learned this unit into word problems. This post I am going to focus in on equivalent forms of the quadratic functions. There are three equivalent forms of the quadratic function the general, standard, and factored form. We are going to look on the general and standard form.

General form —> ax^2+bc+c

Standard form —> y=(x-p)^2+q

When changing between general and standard form you have to use the completing the square method to do so.
