B. Vertex Form
In the previous section, the function given in the example was written in a particular format called the vertex form of a quadratic function.

The
Vertex
Form
A quadratic function written in
vertex
form is
\(f(x) = a(x - p)^2 + q \)
where \(a \), \(p \), and \(q \) are constants, and \(a \ne 0\).
\(f(x) = a(x - p)^2 + q \)
where \(a \), \(p \), and \(q \) are constants, and \(a \ne 0\).
