Ok, so I am trying to make a math program where it converts the quadratic formula, ax^2+bx+c into vertex form, a(x-h)+k. I know that this is kind of a math problem, but since it's a program, I thought it would fit here. So far, I've found the formula for a and h but I can't find how to make k.

Thanks, any help is appreciated and if you want a crappy source code of what I have so far, just tell me how to post one! (I'm a noob)

I believe you will find the formulas you need here:
