Question

If you have to solve all these things. would it be easier to use Standard or vertex form.

factor the equation
graph the parabola
identify vertex, maximum or minimum or parabola
solve with quadratic formula

why is you choice easier to use? i am curious.

Answer 1

Answer 2

well vertex form is better for graphing and identifying vertex/max/min

standard form is better for factoring and using quadratic formula

Answer 3

huh. i see. okay.

Answer 4

if you have to do all those things, i would think vertex form is better

its easier to convert to standard form

Answer 5

and actually you can solve equation when its in vertex form without even needing the quadratic formula. Then once you know the roots you can put in factor form
