Vertex Form & Transformations Fall 2024

Front

Back

The vertex is (1, 0).

Front

What is the equation for the axis of symmetry of a parabola?

Back

The axis of symmetry is given by the equation x = h, where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Front

A parabola has a vertex at (-3,2). Where is the axis of symmetry?

Back

The axis of symmetry is x = -3.

Front

Back

The vertex is (9, 8).

Front

Which way does the graph move if the equation looks like y = (x - 3)^2?

Back

The graph moves to the RIGHT 3 units.

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic function?

Back

Front

How do you find the vertex from the vertex form of a quadratic function?

Back

Front

What does the 'a' value in the vertex form indicate about the parabola?

Back

If 'a' is positive, the parabola opens upwards; if 'a' is negative, it opens downwards.

Front

Back

The axis of symmetry is x = -4.

Front

How do you determine the direction of a parabola's opening?

Back

The direction is determined by the sign of 'a' in the vertex form: positive opens up, negative opens down.
