You will come across the topic of vertex formula when you are going through the topic of conic sections i.e., when you are learning about parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses. Students usually find this topic very confusing. However, it is very easy to understand. In the chapter on conic sections, the vertex formula of a parabola is applied when we need to locate the coordinates of a point at which the parabola crosses its axis of symmetry. The coordinates of the vertex of a parabola is often represented as (h,k). We have learned in the chapter on quadratic equation that its…
