Vertex Form
Breaking down and understanding the equation & transformations
-The Y variable represents the Y-intercept
-The A variable represents whether the parabola opens up or down (positive a value results to parabola opening down, negative a value results to the parabola opening down), it also represents if the parabola will have a compression or stretch
- The X variable represents the x intercept
- The H variable represents where the X point is on the graph (right or left) (axis of symmetry) (If h is positive 6 the parabola will be horizontally translated 6 units to left)
- The ^2 creates the arch shape of the parabola
- The X variable is in charge of whether the parabola will be vertically shifted up or down (according to positive or negative sign) (positive K value will shift parabola up and negative K value will shift parabola down)
After you plot your vertex using the transformations explained you can use the step pattern to plot your vertex form equation!
Understanding Transformations
Y=a(x-h)+k
With all variables at 0 the parabola would be at the origin at 0,0
- The (a) value stretches or compresses the parabola. If the (a) value is greater than 1 the parabola will stretch by the factor of the value of the variable; This is what is called a vertical stretch. If the (a) value is less than 1 the parabola will compress by the factor of the value of the variable; this is known as a vertical compression.
- The (-h) represents whether the parabola moves left or right. *RECORD (When the h value is positive the parabola moves left and when the h value is negative the parabola moves right). This is called a horizontal translation.
- The (k) variable represents whether the parabola moves up or down. *RECORD (Whenthe k value is positive the parabola moves up, when the k value is negative the parabola moves down). This is called a vertical translation.
Did you know? The H value and K value make up the vertex?
The Step Pattern
Over 1 up 1
Over 2 up 4
Over 3 up 9
Note: *When using the step pattern we just square the number we are going over by to find the number we go up by
Note: *When there is a whole positive/negative: number, fraction, decimal in place of variable a value you just simply multiply the a value to the squared part of the step pattern
finding Axis of symmetry in vertex form
For example:
y= 4(x+5)+6
----a----h----k
In the equation the value of h is +5, so when the sign is flipped the axis of symmetry is -5.
Finding optimal value of a standard form equation.
For example:
y= 4(x+5)+6
----a----h----k
Therefore the k value is positive 6, meaning the optimal value of the parabola will be +6 over the x-axis.

Finding axis of symettry in factored form
For example: X int @(6,0), (-4,0)
(a+b)/2
(6+-4)/2
2/2
1=Axis of symmetry Therefore after averaging the x intercepts 1 is the axis of symmetry.

Finding x intercepts of standard form equations using the quadratic formula
Finding the axis of symmetry of a standard form equation
Lets do an example, let's find the optimal value for the equation we found x-intercepts for above (3x^2-4x+1).
Method 1 (adding both x intercepts and divide by 2)
Axis of symmetry: (1+1/3)/2
=0.666
Method 2- Using -b/2a (variables were identified in previous part)
Axis of symmetry: -b/2a
=-(-4)/2(3)
=4/6
=0.66
Therefore we applied both methods taught to find for the x intercepts of a standard form equation and we managed to get the same answer proving that our answer is correct.
Finding the optimal value of a standard form equation
With the example used above for explaining how to calculate x intercepts and axis of symmetry, we will also use the same example to explain optimal value.
Equation being subbed into: (3x^2-4x+1=0 X=0.66 (Axis of symmetry)
3(0.66)^2-4(0.66)+1
=-.3332
Therefore you have your optimal value.
discriminants
- negative there is no solution
- is equal to 0 there is only 1 solution
- if greater than 1 there is 2 solutions.
