 FOREWORD

This Self Learning Kit will serve as a guide in transforming the

quadratic function defined by y = ax2 + bx + c into the form y =
a(x – h)2 + k. It will be your aid as you learn new ideas and
enrich your existing knowledge about mathematical concepts.

In this learning kit you will gain knowledge in transforming

the quadratic function defined by y = ax2 + bx + c into the form
y = a(x – h)2 + k.

OBJECTIVES:

Knowledge: Enumerate the forms of quadratic functions

Skill: Rewrite quadratic functions y = ax2 + bx + c in the form

y = a(x – h)2 + k

Affective: Appreciate the utility of transforming quadratic functions

LEARNING COMPETENCY:
Transforms the Quadratic function defined by y = ax2 + bx + c into the
form y = a(x – h)2 + k (M9AL-Ih-1)
