In this lesson, you will be introduced to quadratic expressions in vertex form and learn that this form allows us to easily see where the vertex of a graph is located.
When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:
- Recognize the "vertex form" of a quadratic equation.
- Relate the numbers in the vertex form of a quadratic equation to its graph.
Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:
- 7.15.1: Analyzing Two Sets of Equations
- 7.15.2: The Vertex Form
- 7.15.2: Self Check
- 7.15.2: Additional Resources
- 7.15.3: The Coordinates of the Vertex
- 7.15.3: Self Check
- 7.15.3: Additional Resources
- 7.15.4: The Graph of a Function in Vertex Form
After that, you’ll practice and review.
- 7.15.5: Practice
- 7.15.6: Lesson Summary
