SP#1: Unit E: Concept 1: Identifying X-Intercepts, Identifying Y-Intercepts, Vertex (max and min), axis of quadratics and graphing them, Quadratics in standard form

This picture shows how to find the different parts of a quadratic function using standard form, and then having to graph them. This picture demonstrates how to find the parent function equation, vertex, y-intercept, the axis of symmetry, and the x-intercepts.

Notice that in the graph the quadratic is facing upwards, this is because the a value is positive, if the a value were to be negative then the quadratic would be facing downward. Use (h,k) to find the vertex of the quadratic. When you find the X-intercepts make sure to plug them into your calculator. Have Fun!:)
