1. Frequently Asked Questions on vertex form Danielle

2. What is it Equation: y=a(x-h)2+k

3. Who do you have to have to set up the problem You need to have a vertex and a point

4. How do we know what is a vertex and what is a point The vertex is h and k the point is x and y

5. How do we do the problem Problem: vertex(3,8) point(4,2) Y=a(x-h)^2+k 4=a(2-3)^2+8 -8 -8 -4 (2-3)^2=1 -4 =-3=a 4=-3(2-3)^2+8
