VERTEX Form

of
Quadratic Functions

Math 2Y
2
Vertex Form: f ( x ) a ( x  h)  k
• h moves the parabola horizontally
• k moves the parabola vertically
• a makes the parabola narrow or wide

• VERTEX => (opposite h, k)


• Axis of Symmetry is x = opposite h

*Reminder* If a > 0 (positive), parabola opens up


If a < 0 (negative), parabola opens down
EXAMPLE 1 Graph a quadratic function in vertex form

Graph y = –1 (x + 2)2 + 5.

Writing in Standard Form
• Goal is to manipulate the numbers so that
they are in the form f(x) = ax² + bx + c

*Reminder* Order of Operations: PEMDAS!!

• You will need to distribute monomials,


binomials, and trinomials!
• Let’s look at some examples…
EXAMPLE 3 Change from intercept form to standard form

Write y = –2(x + 5)(x – 8) in standard form.

y= –2(x + 5)(x – 8) Write original function.


= –2(x2 – 8x + 5x – 40) Multiply by Distributing.
= –2(x2 – 3x – 40) Combine like terms.
= –2x2 + 6x + 80 Distributive property
EXAMPLE 3 Change from vertex form to standard form

Write f (x) = 4(x – 1)2 + 9 in standard form.

f (x) = 4(x – 1)2 + 9 Write original function.


= 4(x – 1) (x – 1) + 9 Rewrite (x – 1)2.
= 4(x2 – x – x + 1) + 9 Multiply by Distributing.
= 4(x2 – 2x + 1) + 9 Combine like terms.
= 4x2 – 8x + 4 + 9 Distributive property
= 4x2 – 8x + 13 Combine like terms.
