The general quadratic form is:

$y=ax^{2}+bx+c$

This article will describe how to find the vertex, x-intercepts and y-intercepts for this form of a quadratic equation.

If a quadratic can be factored it may be expressed in the following form:

$y=a(x+h)(x+k)$

This article will describe how to find the vertex, x-intercepts and y-intercepts for this form of a quadratic equation.

This is the “standard” form of the quadratic equation:

$y=a(x-h)^{2}+k$ where $a\neq0$

This article will describe how to find the vertex, x-intercepts and y-intercepts for this form of a quadratic equation.
