document.write( "Question 940854: Hi! I'm taking geometry at the moment and this seems to be a similar subject. So, I was wondering if you could explain to me about how I would use a vertex form (F(x)= a(X-p)+h) or factor form (F(x)=a(x-p)(x-q)), to convert back to standard form (a(squared)+b+c) equations? I have a test tomorrow and I need to figure it out! this is sort of about when you graph the quadratic equation but use different forms \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Not clear what factorization you want.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"F%28x%29=a%28x-p%29%2Bh\"$ , the definition?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your other definition is a mismatch completely, because the righthand expression is quadratic:
