• (-3,5)

• (3, -5)

• (-3,-5)

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)

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

• y-intercept

• x-intercept(s)

• vertex

Mason, Kai, and William are playing a game of darts. If the dartboard is represented by a parabolic curve, and the vertex represents the highest possible score, which of the following coordinates would represent the vertex?

• (2, 4)

• (0, 8)

• (3, -1)

• (4, 2)

Ethan is trying to model the trajectory of a ball thrown in the air using the equation y = x² + 4x + 10. Oliver suggests rewriting the equation in vertex form. How should they rewrite it?

• y = (x + 4)² + 6

• y = (x + 4)² - 6

• y = (x + 2)² + 6

• y = (x + 2)² - 6
