Quadratic Functions
Using forms of quadratic functions: standard, vertex, focus
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Three points --> Standard Form | Substitute points -- Solve system with matrix |
Vertex & Point --> Vertex Form | Substitute point and vertex -- Find "a" |
Focus & Vertex --> Focus form | Substitute "c" -- Substitute vertex |
Standard Form --> Vertex Form | Use -b/2a to get vertex -- Use "a" value |
Vertex Form --> Standard Form | Expand the binomial square -- Simplify |
Vertex Form --> Focus Form | a = 1/4c |
Focus Form --> Vertex Form | a = 1/4c |
Standard Form --> Graph | Use -b/2a to get vertex -- "c" is y-intercept -- "a" is stretch factor |
Vertex Form --> Graph | (h, k) vertex -- "a" is stretch factor |
Focus Form --> Graph | (h, k) vertex -- "c" is focal length |
Standard Form Formula | y=ax^2 + bx + c |
Vertex Form Formula - Vertical Parabola | y=a(x - h)^2 + k |
Vertex Form Formula - Horizontal Parabola | x=a(y - k)^2 + h -- be careful of (h, k) placement |
Focus Form Formula - Vertical Parabola | y=1/4c(x - h)^2 + k |
Focus Form Formula - Horizontal Parabola | x=1/4c(y - k)^2 + h -- be careful of (h, k) placement |
