General Form of a quadratic function: f(x) = ax2 + bx + c a ≠ 0
Standard Form of a quadratic function: f(x) = a(x h) + k a ≠ 0
Type of graph: Parabola
This form is easier to graph: Standard Form
How to change from general to standard form: Complete the Square

Example #1: Find the vertex and line of symmetry by completing the square. f(x) = 3x2 + 12x + 4
Now you can pick out the vertex and axis of symmetry: and
(Remember the axis of symmetry from the vertex form is .)

We can also find the vertex from the general form by using the equation: .
Then we substitute this value in for x and solve for y of the vertex.
From the general form, remember that is also the equation for the axis of symmetry.
General Form:

What does a, from the standard form, tell us?
If a > 0, the parabola opens up and the vertex is the minimum point.
If a

Having the vertex and knowing whether the graph opens up or down is really not enough to accurately graph the parabola. We should also locate the intercepts.How many are possible? 0, 1, or 2
How can you find these intercepts? Set the quadratic equal to "0" and solve for "x".
Use factoring, quadratic formula, or completing the square to solve for the xintercepts.
So the xintercepts
are 1 and

You can tell how many xintercepts there will be by using the discriminant: b2 4ac
b2 4ac > 0, there are two real interceptsb2 4ac = 0, there is only one (double) real interceptb2 4ac
