2. Test 1.2 Review
Vertex form of a quadratic equation: f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k
The vertex is the ordered pair (h,k)
Standard form of a quadratic equation: f(x) = ax2 + bx + c
Find the vertex when in standard form using x = -b/2a and y = f(-b/2a).
The vertex provides the maximum or minimum value.
Identify the axis of symmetry of a quadratic equation in standard form by finding the x value of the vertex.
How to make a table when you have a quadratic equation in any form.
