Representations of Quadratics

Comparing standard, vertex, and factored forms of quadratic functions.

Key Questions

  1. 1What specific information does the vertex form reveal that the standard form does not?
  2. 2How do the coefficients of a quadratic equation dictate the shape and position of its graph?
  3. 3Why can some quadratics be factored while others require the quadratic formula?
