Which rank is better A or S?
I'm trying to figure out which rank is superior, A or S. I need to understand the hierarchy or evaluation criteria behind these ranks to make an informed decision.
What does the a stand for in vertex form?
Could you please clarify what you mean by "the a in vertex form"? Are you referring to the quadratic equation in vertex form, which is typically written as y = a(x - h)^2 + k? If so, the "a" in this equation represents the leading coefficient, which determines the direction and steepness of the parabola. Specifically, if "a" is positive, the parabola opens upwards, and if "a" is negative, the parabola opens downwards. The magnitude of "a" also affects the steepness of the parabola, with larger values of "a" resulting in steeper parabolas. Is this what you were asking about?
