What are coordinates of the vertex of a parabola often represented by?

• (x, y)

• (x₂, y₂)

• (h, k)

• (r₂, d₂)

A parabola has a vertex at (1,6) and passes through (3,-18). Write the equation in vertex form.

Formula: f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

• f(x) = 3(x - 1)² - 18

• f(x) = -6(x - 1)² + 6

• f(x) = 6(x - 3)² - 18

• f(x) = -3(x + 1)² - 6

When given 3 or more ordered pairs on a parabola, which of the following is a method you can use to find the equation in standard form?

• Make a table of values. Find the rate of change (slope) and y-intercept.

• On the calculator, use STAT-EDIT to enter the values into L₁ and L₂. Then go to STAT>CALC and choose "QuadReg" (option 5).

• 3 ordered pairs will not give you enough information to find the equation for the parabola.

What information do you need to write an equation in vertex form? Select all that apply.

• an ordered pair anywhere on the parabola

• the coordinates for the vertex

• the formula for standard form

• the formula for vertex form

Your teacher gives you an equation in vertex form and wants you to convert it to standard form. Which one of the following describes the steps in the correct order?

• 1- Distribute the "a" value.

  2- Square the expression in parentheses.

  3- Combine like terms.

• 1- Sketch the graph on the coordinate plane.

  2- Identify 2 ordered pairs.

  3- Use STAT-EDIT and STAT>CALC-Option 4 (LinReg)

• 1- Square the expression in parentheses.

  2- Combine Like Terms.

  3- Distribute the "a" value.

• 1- Square the expression in parentheses.

  2- Distribute the "a" value.

  3- Combine like terms.
