The correct part of the quadratic equation is

C h and k is correct, but a is not

What is the vertex form of the quadratic equation

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is given by:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

where

(h, k) represents the coordinates of the vertex

a is the coefficient that determines the direction and width of the parabola

In this form

If a > 0 the parabola opens upwards and the vertex is the lowest point.

If a < 0 the parabola opens downwards and the vertex is the highest point.

This form is useful for quickly identifying the vertex of the parabola
