Graphing Quadratic EquationsStandard Form
Vertex:  The maximum or minimum point on the graph of a parabola.Axis of Symmetry:  An imaginary lineon the graph over which the graph is a reflection of itself.Roots:  The locations on the graphwhere the curve touches or crossesthe x-axis
Anatomy of a Quadratic Equation in Standard Forma, b, and c are called “coefficients”The vertex can be found using the coefficients in the formula  The axis of symmetry can be found using the coefficientsin the formulaSimilarities?
For Example…Axis of SymmetryVertex
y55xO 55Vertex: ______________ Axis of Symmetry: _________ Direction: __________ Root(s): _______   ________up1     316600616
y55xO 55Vertex: ______________ Axis of Symmetry: _________ Direction: __________ Root(s): _______   ________down-31-50330-5
Find the Value of a Function at a particular value of x
