State
In standard form a(x − h)² + k, the vertex is (h, k): the inside names h sign-flipped, the outside names k.
Show
(x − 2)² − 1 has vertex (2, −1); (x + 3)² + 5 hides h = −3, vertex (−3, 5).
Watch for
The inside lies the way shifts lie.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
