Sketching Quadratics by
Completing the Square
Another method that can be used to sketch a
quadratic graph is by completing the square.
Any quadratic function in the form,
can be written in the form,

In this form, the coordinate for the vertex is (-h, k). The e Sq

used to find the maximum or minimum value of the
graph. The axis of symmetry is x = -h. And the
minimum/maximum value = k
