    The document discusses how to convert a quadratic function in standard form (y=ax^2+bx+c) to vertex and factored forms. It explains that the vertex form is found by completing the square, and the factored form is found by factoring. It provides the formula for finding the vertex as (-b/2a, f(-b/2a)) and discusses how the sign of a determines if the graph opens up or down. Examples are given of converting standard forms to factored forms using the quadratic formula.

    y=ax2+bx+c Can be converted to vertex form by completing the square. Cab be converted to factored from by factoring.

    g. To find the vertex take the opposite of b divided by 2a. -b/2a Then take the value you got from -b/2a and plug it into your equation to find the value of y and that will give you your x-value and your yvalue. Vertex (-b/2a, f(-b/2a)) How the graph will open If a is positive then it will open up. If a is negative then it will open down. a can not =0 Standard to Factored: Factoring y=-(x2+2x-3) Factor y=-(x+3)(x-1) Factored Form Graph: y=-(x+3)(x-1) x-intercepts: x= -3 x= 1 vertex:-2/2= -1 -(-12+2*-1-3)= 4 (-1,4) **take the opposite value of both the x-intercepts Standard to Factored: Quadratic Formula x=-b+and- the square root of b2-4ac all divided by 2a Example: y=x2+2x-3 ----------------2*1
