​ "a" determines the width and direction of the parabola in both the standard form and vertex form of a quadratic function.

If "a" is positive, then the parabola will open ​ (a)   like a ​ (b)   .

If "a" is negative, then the parabola will open ​ (c)   like a ​ (d)   .

If "a" is negative, then the parabola will be reflected across the ​ (e)   .

Why use vertex form?

Vertex form shows the ___ on a quadratic equation in respect to its ___ function, f(x) = x²

For the function, f(x) = -(x + 5)² − 1,

identify the vertex and axis of symmetry.

• Vertex: (-5, -1)

  Axis of symmetry:

  x = -5

• Vertex: (-5, 1)

  Axis of symmetry:

  x = -5

• Vertex: (5, -1)

  Axis of symmetry:

  x = 5

• Vertex: (0, -1)

  Axis of symmetry:

  x = 0

• Vertex: (-1, -5)

  Axis of symmetry:

  x = -1

For the quadratic inequality y ≥ 4(x+1)² − 7,

give the vertex and axis of symmetry, then graph the inequality.

Match the following vocabulary

• Axis of Symmetry

• U-shaped curve created by a quadratic equation

• Vertex

• Standard Form of a Quadratic Equation

• f(x) = a(x−h)²+k

• Parabola

• The turning point of the parabola; either a minimum or a maximum

• Vertex Form of a Quadratic Equation

• f(x) = ax²+bx+c

If a parabola has a vertex at (-3, 2),
where is the axis of symmetry?

• y = -2
• x = 3
• x = -3
• y = 2

Determine if the function has a minimum or maximum.

Then find the axis of symmetry and the vertex and y-intercept.

f(x) = -x² + 6x

Minimum / Maximum? ​ (a)  

Axis of Symmetry: ​ (b)  

Vertex: ​ (c)  

y-intercept: ​ (d)  

• Maximum

State the domain and range of the function.

f(x) = 2x² − 8x + 6

Domain: ​ (a)  

​ Range: ​ (b)
