1. CCGPS Geometry Day 39 (3-5-15)
UNIT QUESTION: How are real life scenarios represented by quadratic functions?
Today’s Question:
How do we change from standard form to vertex form of a quadratic?
Standard: MCC9-12.A.SSE.3b, F.IF.8

2. Daily Check
Give the transformations for each of the following functions?
f(x) = (x - 2)2 + 4
f(x) = -3x2
f(x) = ½ (x+3)2
Write the equation in vertex form for the following graph.

Rate:
a (+ up; – down)

4. Writing in Standard Form
Multiply out each of the following functions.
y = (x – 1)2 + 8
y = 2(x + 3)2 – 5
y = -(x – 4)2 + 3
y = 2(x + 1)2 – 2
This is how you convert from vertex form to standard form.

5. Converting from standard to vertex form:
Find the AXIS of SYMMETRY :
Find VERTEX (h, k)
h = x k is found by substituting “x”
“a” – value for vertex form should be the
same coefficient of x2 in standard form.
Check by using another point (intercept)

6. Example Given f(x) = x2 + 8x + 10 1) Find a, b, and c.
2) Find the line of symmetry or “h” using x = -b/2a
3) Find the y value of the vertex, or “k” by substituting
“x” into the equation.
So, the vertex is at (-4, 6).
4) Write the equation in vertex form using the “h” and “k” found. “a” will be the same thing as in Step 1.
