    The document discusses writing quadratic functions in vertex form, which represents the function as (x - h)2 + k, where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and the axis of symmetry is x = h. It provides examples of writing functions in vertex form by completing the square and factoring, as well as writing an equation for a parabola given the vertex. It also demonstrates how to identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, and y-intercept from a quadratic function written in vertex form.

    VERTEX FORM:

    Vertex: Axis of symmetry: a determines the shape of the parabola and whether it opens up or down.

    Write Functions in Vertex Form


    Example 1: y = x2 + 6x - 5

    Step 1: Complete the Square

    Step 2: Write as a perfect square

    Vertex: Axis of Symmetry:

    Example 2:

    y = -2x2 + 8x - 3

    Step 1: Group the first two terms and factor out 2

    Step 2: Complete the square

    Step 3: Write as a perfect square

    Vertex: Axis of Symmetry:

    Example 3:

    Write an equation for a parabola with vertex at (3, 2) that passes through (-1, -2)

    Step 1: Plug in what we know.

    Step 2: Solve for a.

    Step 3: Rewrite the equation.
