Converting from vertex to standard form

Converting a quadratic equation from vertex form to standard form is a fundamental skill in algebra. The vertex form of a quadratic equation is given by y=a(x−h)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + ky=a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k)(h, k)(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola. The standard form is y=ax2+bx+cy = ax^2 + bx + cy=ax2+bx+c. This conversion involves expanding the squared term and simplifying the equation.
