Sometimes b or c is missing! DETERMINE A, B, C from Sometimes b or c is missing!
Determine a, b, c for each
Find the roots/zeros/x-intercepts by FACTORING OR
To find the y-intercept LOOK at your “C” value OR Substitute zero for x to find y
To find the vertex First find the axis of symmetry Then substitute your x into your equation to find the y value. Write as (x, y)
Find the key features of each then graph
Modeling Problems Read the problem to determine units Read each question carefully to determine what the question is asking you for
