You want to find the vertex of a Quadratic function. Which form is the most useful for finding the vertex? Explain your thinking.

Answer explanation

Vertex form because the h and k values provide the values for the ordered pair.

Sophia is playing a video game where she needs to find a treasure hidden at a vertex of a parabolic path. The coordinates of the vertex are (-7,-1). Which quadratic form should she use to find the treasure?

• y = x² + 14x + 48

• y = (x + 7)² - 1

• y = (x + 6)(x + 8)

William, Maya, and Abigail are in a math competition. They are given a Quadratic equation and asked to find its roots without graphing it. Which Quadratic form should they use?

• y = (x - 1)² - 9

• y = x² - 2x - 8

• y = (x + 2)(x - 4)

Match the form of the quadratic to the key feature that it represents best

• y-intercept

• x-intercept(s)

• vertex
