Learn how to graph a quadratic in standard form using a table and axis of symmetry

The video tutorial covers identifying coefficients A, B, and C in a quadratic equation, finding the axis of symmetry using the formula X = -B/2A, and determining the vertex by plugging in X and calculating Y. It explains graphing the vertex and choosing points to the left and right, emphasizing the reflection of points over the axis of symmetry. The tutorial also addresses common challenges with fractions and provides strategies for handling them.

What is the role of the coefficient A in a quadratic equation?

• It is the constant term.

• It is the coefficient of the linear term.

• It is the coefficient of the X squared term.

• It is the coefficient of the Y term.

How do you calculate the axis of symmetry for a quadratic function?

• X equals A divided by 2B

• X equals negative B divided by 2A

• X equals B divided by 2A

• X equals negative A divided by 2B

What is the X value of the vertex in the given example?

• 2

• 1.5

• 2.5

• 1

How do you find the Y value of the vertex?

• By adding A, B, and C

• By dividing C by A

• By plugging the X value into the quadratic equation

• By subtracting B from A

What is the Y value of the vertex in the example provided?

• 0.25

• -0.75

• -1.25

• 1.25

Why is it useful to choose points to the left and right of the vertex when graphing?

• To determine the Y-intercept

• To calculate the slope

• To ensure the graph is symmetrical

• To find the maximum value

What happens to the points chosen on one side of the axis of symmetry?

• They are subtracted from the vertex.

• They are ignored.

• They are doubled.

• They reflect over the axis of symmetry.
