Chapter 4.2 Graphs of Quadratics in Vertex or Intercept Form
Quadratic Functions Quadratic Functions all contain an x² term Parent Function Axis of Symmetry – Divides the graph into mirror images Vertex – Lowest or highest point on the graph
Vertex Form Vocab h is the horizontal shift k is the vertical shift a determines up/down orientation and fat/skinny parabolas. Vertex is at the point (h,k)
Graph: 1.Identify a, h & k 2.Plot vertex & line of symmetry 3.Pick a value to the left of your x valuePlot point & Reflect across axis of symm. 4.Sketch curve.

Steps for ploting 1.Identify a, h & k 2.Plot vertex & line of symmetry 3.Pick a x value to the left of your vertex and Plot the point. 4. Reflect across axis of symm. 5.Sketch curve.
Y X 1.Identify a, h & k 2.Plot vertex & line of symmetry 3.Pick a value to the left of your x valuePlot point & Reflect across axis of symm. 4.Sketch curve.
Y X 1.Identify a, h & k 2.Plot vertex & line of symmetry 3.Pick a value to the left of your x valuePlot point & Reflect across axis of symm. 4.Sketch curve.
Intercept Form x-intercepts are at (p,0) & (q,0) Axis of symmetry is halfway between p&q. a determines up/down orientation and fat/skinny parabolas.
