The equation in vertex form is:
y = a(x - h)^2 + k
To find the values of a, h, and k from the equation y = x^2, we need to complete the square.
y = x^2 can be rewritten as:
y = (x - 0)^2 + 0
Comparing this with the vertex form equation, we get:
a = 1
h = 0
k = 0
Therefore, the values of a, h, and k for y = x^2 in vertex form are a = 1, h = 0, and k = 0.
