Explanation:
1. The general form of a quadratic in standard form* is ...
An example is ...
The constant c is the y-intercept, so is the easiest bit of information to obtain in this form.
__
2. The general form of a quadratic in vertex form can be written as ...
An example is ...
The ordered pair (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola, so is easy to obtain in this form. Arguably, it may be easier to identify the line of symmetry, x=h, since that requires looking at only one constant, instead of two.
