Quadratic Equations Standard Form and Vertex Form

A parabola has a vertex at (6, 5) and passes through (10, -11). Which equation represents this parabola in vertex form?

• -11 = a(10 - 6)² + 5

• y = -(10 - h)² + k

• y = -(x - 6)² + 5

• y = (x - 6)² + 5

Which answer choice(s) below correctly show(s) an equation in vertex form and in its standard form? (There may be more than 1.)

• y = -3(x + 2)² + 3

  y = -3x² - 12x - 15

• y = 2(x + 5)² + 1

  y = 2x² + 20x + 51

• y = 0.5(x - 3)² - 6

  y = 0.5x² - 3x - 1.5

A parabola has a vertex at (1,6) and passes through (3,-18). Write the equation in vertex form.

Formula: f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

• f(x) = 3(x - 1)² - 18

• f(x) = -6(x - 1)² + 6

• f(x) = 6(x - 3)² - 18

• f(x) = -3(x + 1)² - 6

When given 3 or more ordered pairs on a parabola, which of the following is a method you can use to find the equation in standard form?

• Make a table of values. Find the rate of change (slope) and y-intercept.

• On the calculator, use STAT-EDIT to enter the values into L₁ and L₂. Then go to STAT>CALC and choose "QuadReg" (option 5).

• 3 ordered pairs will not give you enough information to find the equation for the parabola.
