Graphing Quadratics (Standard, Vertex, Intercept Forms)

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic function?

Back

Front

How do you find the axis of symmetry for a quadratic function in standard form?

What is the vertex form of a quadratic function?

Back

Front

How can you identify the vertex from the vertex form of a quadratic function?

Front

What does the value of 'a' in the quadratic function indicate about the parabola?

Back

The value of 'a' determines the direction of the parabola: if a > 0, the parabola opens upwards; if a < 0, it opens downwards.

Front

What is the intercept form of a quadratic function?

Back

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a quadratic function in standard form?

Front

What is the significance of the vertex in a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex represents the maximum or minimum point of the parabola, depending on the direction it opens.

Front

How do you convert from standard form to vertex form?

Back

To convert from standard form to vertex form, you can complete the square.
