Discussion
Why is it important to find additional points before graphing a quadratic function? 𝟐

3. 1 2 𝟑 Using Vertex will help you graph a quadratic function.
Relevance
If a function is written in the Standard form, you can use ( −𝒃 𝟐𝒂 , f ( −𝒃 𝟐𝒂 ) to find the vertex (h, k) and pick additional two more points to graph the function. 1
Using Vertex will help you graph a quadratic function.
Vertex can be useful in graphing a quadratic functions since the vertex is the point where the parabola crosses its axis of symmetry. We look to the left or to the right of the vertex point to get extra points to help us graph the parabola. We already know that, if the coefficient of  𝑥 2  term is negative then the graph opens down (∩) and thus gives us a maximum point. If the coefficient of the 𝑥 2  term is positive, then the graph opens up(∪) and thus gives us a minimum point. 2
Knowing how to find the Vertex will help you do well on tests.
Sample Test Question:
Axis of symmetry: x=−0.5
y-intercept: -2
Vertex: (0.5, 2.5)
Vertex: (−0.5, 2.5)
Vertex: (−0.5, -2.5)
Vertex: (0.5, -2.5) A. B. D.
Graph f(x) = 2x2 + 2x – 2. Label the axis of symmetry, y-intercept, and vertex.
