Quadratic Reference Sheet

This document provides an overview of the key forms of quadratic equations and how to transition between them. It shows the standard, factored, and vertex forms of quadratics along with the key points and transformations needed to go between the forms. The standard steps include expanding, factoring, completing the square, finding the vertex, roots, intercepts, and converting between equivalent equations.
