4.2 Standard Form of the Quadratic Function

2. A parabola is the graph of a quadratic function, which you can write in the form f(x) = ax² + bx + c, where a å 0.
The vertex form of the quadratic is f(x) = a(x-h)2+k, where a å 0.
The axis of symmetry is a line that divides the parabola into two mirror images. The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = h.
The vertex of the parabola is (h, k), the intersection of the parabola and its axis of symmetry.

3. II.The parent quadratic function is f(x) = x². Its graph is a parabola. What is its axis of symmetry? Vertex?
Graph and describe.
