Steps in Transforming the Standard Form of a Quadratic Equation into Vertex Form
When 𝒂 ≠ 𝟏:
3. Get the square of the half of 𝑏 then add it to the expression inside the parenthesis. At the same
time, multiply 𝑎 with the square of the half of 𝑏 and subtract it from the constant.
4. Factor the expression inside the parenthesis which is a perfect square trinomial.
𝑦 = 2(𝑥 + 4)2 − 37
When 𝒂 = 𝟏:
3. Factor the expression inside the parenthesis which is a perfect square trinomial.
𝑦 = 2(𝑥 + 4)2 – 37
Transforming the vertex form of a quadratic equation into standard form is easier than transforming
from standard form to vertex form. Here, all we have to do is to expand the quadratic function and then
simplify.
𝒚 = (𝒙 − 𝟓)𝟐 − 𝟔
𝑦 = 𝑥2 − 10𝑥 + 25 − 6
𝑦 = 𝑥2 − 10𝑥 + 19
