Graphing Quadratic Functions in Standard From Section 7.2
2
Lehmann, Intermediate Algebra, 4ed Section 7.2Slide 2 Method 2: Graphing by Using the Vertex Formula to Find the Vertex Vertex Formula To find the vertex of the graph of a quadratic function 1.Find the x-coordinate of the vertex by using the vertex formula 2. Find the y-coordinate of the vertex by evaluating f at the value found in step 1. That is, find − b 2a. Process
