State

From general form, the vertex sits at h = −b/(2a) with k = f(h); the axis is that same x.

Show

For x² − 4x + 3: h = 4/2 = 2 and k = f(2) = −1 — vertex (2, −1), no conversion needed.

Watch for

Compute k by evaluating, never from c.

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
