How do I change from...
- Factored to standard?
- multiply everything out and combine like terms
- multiply the parentheses first
- distribute a into that answer
- Vertex to standard?
- multiply everything out and combine like terms
- square the parentheses first (times itself and FOIL)
- distribute the a
- add the k
- Standard to factored? (or the factoring trinomials videos from a couple weeks back may be more helpful)
- factor the polynomial
- split the middle term (into p and q)
- factor by grouping
- Standard to Vertex?
- a = steal it from standard
- h = -b/2a
- k = plug in the h value to the standard form equation and simplify
