Converting Between Standard Vertex and Factored Form

Given one of the forms of a quadratic function, convert to the other two forms.

(ii) Factored form

(i) Converting into vertex form :

Coefficient of x 2 is 1. So, don't have to factories anything.

Write the coefficient of x as multiple of 2.

y = x 2 − 2 ⋅x ⋅3 + 3 2 - 3 2 - 7

y = (x - 3) 2 - 3 2 - 7

y = (x - 3) 2 - 9 - 7

Vertex (h, k) is (3, -16).

(i) Converting into factored form :

Decomposing -7, we get 1 (-7).

y = x 2 + 1x - 7x − 7

y = x(x + 1) - 7(x + 1)

So, -1 and 7 are x-intercepts.

(i) Standard form

(ii) Factored form

(i) Converting into standard form :

Here (x-1) 2 looks like (a - b) 2 .

(a - b) 2 = a 2 - 2ab + b 2

(x − 1) 2 = x 2 - 2x(1) + 1 2

(x − 1) 2 = x 2 - 2x - 3

y = 3(x 2 - 2x + 1) - 3

y = 3x 2 - 6x + 3 - 3

(ii) Converting into factored form :

Factor 3x, we get

So, 0 and 2 are x-intercepts.

(ii) Standard form:

(i) Converting into vertex form :

y = 2(x 2 + 5x - 3x - 15)

y = 2(x 2 + 2x - 15)

y = 2(x 2 + 2 ⋅ x ⋅1 + 1 2 - 1 2 - 15)

y = 2[(x + 1) 2 - 1 2 - 15]

So, vertex is (-1, -32).

(ii) Converting into standard form :

y = 2(x 2 + 5x - 3x - 15)

y = 2(x 2 + 2x - 15)

Distributing 2, we get

y = 2x 2 + 4x - 30

y = 2x 2 + 8x + 10

(ii) Factored form

(i) Converting into vertex form :

y = 2x 2 + 8x - 10

y = 2( x 2 + 4x - 5)

y = 2( x 2 + 2 ⋅x ⋅2 + 2 2 - 2 2 - 5)

So, the vertex is (-2, -18).

(ii) Converting into factored form :

y = 2x 2 + 8x - 10

y = 2(x - 5 2 + 4x - 5)

(i) Standard form

(ii) Factored form

(i) Converting into standard form :

Using the algebraic identity (a + b) 2 , we can find the expansion of (x + 1) 2

(x + 1) 2 = x 2 + 2 ⋅x ⋅1 + 1 2

(x + 1) 2 = x 2 + 2 x + 1

y = 2( x 2 + 2 x + 1 ) − 8

y = 2 x 2 + 4 x + 2 − 8

y = 2 x 2 + 4 x − 6

(ii) Converting into factored form :

y = 2 x 2 + 4 x − 6

Factoring 2, we get

y = 2( x 2 + 2 x − 3)

(ii) Standard form:

(i) Converting into vertex form :

y = −4(2x 2 - 5x + 2x - 5)

y = −4(2x 2 - 3x - 5)

y = −4(2x 2 - 3x - 5)
