1. Algebra Lesson 10-2: Graph y = ax2 + bx + c
Learning Target: Given functions in the form: y = ax2 + bx + c, we will know the vertex, axis of symmetry, y-intercept, and shape of the graph.

2. The graph of is a ________________ that opens up if _______ and opens down if _______. The parabola is wider when ___________________ and narrower when ______________________. The axis of symmetry is always: ________________. The y-intercept is always ( _____ , _____ ). The vertex is always located at x = ___________. The vertex is the minimum point when ________ and it’s the maximum point when _______.

3. Example 1:
Consider the function: y = 3x2 + 12x – 8 Vertex: ( _____ , _____ ) Axis of Symmetry: ___________ y-intercept: ( _____ , _____ )

4. Example 2:
Consider the function: y = –x2 + 4x – 1 Vertex: ( _____ , _____ ) Axis of Symmetry: ___________ y-intercept: ( _____ , _____ )

5. Example 3:
