Four different ways to solve a quadratic equation are factoring, completing the square, quadratic formula, and graphing. all methods start with setting the equation equal to zero.
to determine the zeros of a quadratic graph, find the points where the graph of the quadratic equation crosses the x-axis. to determine the vertex, you convert the quadratic form to vertex form, you use this process of completing the square. to determine the axis of symmetry, you cut the graph vertically to see the symmetrical sides.
