Graphing Quadratic Equations Standard Form & Vertex Form
Graphing in Standard Form y = ax 2 + bx + c Find a, b and c Decide if the parabola opens up or down Find the x-value of the vertex Find the y-value of the vertex Find more points on the parabola
y= 2x 2 +4x - 6 Now you try this. Graph:
Identify…… 1. What is the vertex? 2. What is the axis of symmetry? 3. What are the x-intercepts? 4. What is the y-intercept?
Graphing in Vertex Form y = a(x – h) 2 + k Find a, h and k Decide if the parabola opens up or down Find the axis of symmetry Find the vertex Find more points on the parabola
y= – (x – 6) Now you try this. Graph:
Identify…… 1. What is the vertex? 2. What is the axis of symmetry? 3. Explain what transformations happened to the parabola from the parent function y = x 2
