Using the x-intercepts to Rewrite a Quadratic in Graphing Form
Graphing Form for a Parabola y = a(x – h)2 + k ( h, k ):The Vertex The value of a same opposite
Different Forms For a Quadratic Same “a” Parent Graph: y = x2 Factored Form: y = __( __x ± __ )( __x ± __) Standard form: y = ax2 + bx + c Graphing Form: y = a(x – h)2 + k
Justification that the “a” in Standard and Graphing Form are the same Same a!
Standard Form to Graphing Form: Factoring Use an algebraic method to write in graphing form. 3. Average the x-intercepts for h 2 1. Find the value of a: 2. Find the x-intercepts 4. Substitute h into the rule for k 5. Substitute a, h, k into the graphing form WARNING: This method does not work if there are no x-intercepts
