Graphing from Vertex Form Graph y = 2(x – 1)2 + 3
Graphing from Vertex Form Graph y = 2(x – 1)2 + 3 Step 1: Find the vertex. vertex: (1, 3)
Graphing from Vertex Form Graph y = 2(x – 1)2 + 3 Step 2: Find the axis of symmetry.
Graphing from Vertex Form Graph y = 2(x – 1)2 + 3 Step 3: Graph using quadratic pattern.
Graphing from Vertex Form Graph y = 2(x – 1)2 + 3 What are the solutions? There are NO real solutions because the graph doesn’t cross the x-axis….the solutions are actually imaginary/complex!
