Take Note: Write the standard form of a quadratic function. Assume a ≠ 0 and use function notation beginning with "f(x)=".
HINT: Your equation should include a, b, and c.

Question 5
5.
Take Note: Some information about the quadratic function, including the location of the vertex, is "hidden" when the function is written in standard form. That seems like a disadvantage of the form. Identify and describe one advantage of standard form that was named in this lesson?

Take Note: Consider the standard form of a quadratic function.
You can derive a lot of information about the graph of a quadratic function from its coefficients when written in standard form.
Match items on the left with those on the right to complete true statements about the graphs of quadratics that are written in standard form.
Draggable item
arrow_right_alt
Corresponding Item
The y-intercept is
arrow_right_alt
(0, c).
f(-\frac{b}{2a}) is
arrow_right_alt
the axis of symmetry.
-\frac{b}{2a} is
arrow_right_alt
f\left(x\right)=ax^{2}+bx+c,\ \ \ a\ne 0.
The line x=-\frac{b}{2a} is
arrow_right_alt
the parabola opens upward.
If a > 0,
arrow_right_alt
the parabola opens downward.
Parabola is the shape of the graph of
arrow_right_alt
the x-coordinate of the vertex.
If a < 0,
arrow_right_alt
the y-coordinate of the vertex.

Problem 2 Got It? What is the graph of the function?
Plot the vertex, followed by the y-intercept to create the graph.
Click the graph tab.
Click on the graph background to add a point. Add two points to create a graph. Drag a point or type in x and y coordinates to edit its position. Click on a point to delete it.
After you have plotted all graphs, click on x or y intercept tab to graph the intercepts.
