  1. Vertex Form

  2. Forms of quadratics • Factored form a(x-r1)(x-r2) • Standard Form ax2+bx+c • Vertex Form a(x-h)2+k

  3. Each form gives you different information! • Factored form a(x-r1)(x-r2) • Tells you direction of opening • Tells you location of x-intercepts (roots) • Standard Form ax2+bx+c • Tells you direction of opening • Tells you location of y-intercept • Vertex Form a(x-h)2+k • Tells you direction opening • Tells you the location of the vertex (max or min)

  4. Direction of opening • x2 opens up

  5. Direction of opening • ax2 stretches x vertically by a • Here a is 1.5

  6. Direction of opening • ax2 stretches x vertically by a • Here a is 0.5 • Stretching by a fraction is a squish

  7. Direction of opening • ax2 stretches x vertically by a • Here a is -0.5 • Stretching by a negative causes a flip

  8. Direction of opening • a is the number in front of the x2 • The value a tells you what direction the parabola is opening in. • Positive a opens up • Negative a opens down • The a in all three forms is the same number • a(x-r1)(x-r2) • ax2+bx+c • a(x-h)2+k

  9. Factored form a(x-r1)(x-r2) • a is the direction of opening • r1 and r2 are the x-intercepts • Or roots, or zeros • Example: -2(x-2)(x+0.5) • a is negative, opens down. • r1 is 2, crosses the x-axis at 2. • r2 is -0.5, crosses the x-axis at -0.5

  10. Factored form a(x-r1)(x-r2) • a is the direction of opening • r1 and r2 are the x-intercepts • Or roots, or zeros • Example: -2(x-2)(x+0.5) • a is negative, opens down. • r1 is 2, crosses the x-axis at 2. • r2 is -0.5, crosses the x-axis at -0.5

  11. Standard form ax2+bx+c • a is the direction of opening • c is the y-intercept • ƒ(0)=a02+b0+c=c • Example: -2x2+3x+2 • Opens down • Crosses through the point (0,2)

  12. Standard form ax2+bx+c • a is the direction of opening • c is the y-intercept • ƒ(0)=a02+b0+c=c • Example: -2x2+3x+2 • Opens down • Crosses through the point (0,2)

  13. Vertex form • Start with f(x)=x2

  14. Vertex form • Stretch/Flip if you want • aƒ(x)=ax2

  15. Vertex form • Shift right by h • aƒ(x-h)=a(x-h)2 h

  16. Vertex form • Shift up by k • aƒ(x-h)+k=a(x-h)2+k k h

  17. Vertex form • Define a new function • g(x)=a(x-h)2+k (h,k)

  18. Vertex form a(x-h)2+k • a tells you direction of opening • (h,k) is the vertex (h,k)

  19. Vertex form a(x-h)2+k • a tells you direction of opening • (h,k) is the vertex • Example: -2(x-3/4)2+25/8 • Opens down • Has vertex at (3/4, 25/8)

  20. Vertex form a(x-h)2+k • a tells you direction of opening • (h,k) is the vertex • Example: -2(x-3/4)2+25/8 • Opens down • Has vertex at (3/4, 25/8) (3/4, 25/8)

  21. Switching between formsGives you a full picture • Example: ƒ(x)=-2(x-2)(x+0.5) ƒ(x)=-2x2+3x+2 ƒ(x)=-2(x-3/4)2+25/8 are all the same function • Opens down • Crosses x axis at 2 and -0.5 • Crosses the y-axis at 2 • Has vertex at (3/4, 25/8)

  22. Switching between formsGives you a full picture • Example: ƒ(x)=-2(x-2)(x+0.5) ƒ(x)=-2x2+3x+2 ƒ(x)=-2(x-3/4)2+25/8 are all the same function • Opens down • Crosses x axis at 2 and -0.5 • Crosses the y-axis at 2 • Has vertex at (3/4, 25/8)

  23. Consider the function f(x) = -3x2+2x-9. Which of the following are true? • The graph of f(x) has a negative y-intercept B) f(x) has 2 real zeros. C) The graph of f(x) attains a maximum value D) Both (A) and (B) are true E) Both (A) and (C) are true.

  24. Consider the function f(x) = -3x2+2x-9. Which of the following are true? Standard form: ax2+bx+c. a is negative: opens down. ƒ(x) attains a maximum value. (C) is true. c is my y-intercept. c is negative. My y-intercept is negative. (A) is true. E) Both (A) and (C) are true.

  25. The Vertex Formula • Remember the Quadratic formula

  26. What does the QF say?

  27. The Vertex Formula

  28. Example

  29. Given the function R(x)=(2x+6)(x-12), find an equation for its axis of symmetry. • x = - 9 • x = 9 • x = 2 • x = 6 • None of the above.

  30. Given the function R(x)=(2x+6)(x-12), find an equation for its axis (line) of symmetry. • The roots are x=-3 and x=12. • The axis of symmetry is halfway between the roots. • (12-3)/2=4.5, the number halfway between -3 and 12. • x=4.5 is the axis of symmetry • E) None of the above.
