Learning Targets
  • I can transform a quadratic function from standard form (f(x) = ax² + bx + c) to vertex form (f(x) = a(x-h)² + k). #dok2
  • I can identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, and direction of opening from the vertex form of a quadratic function. #dok2
  • I can analyze the different attributes of a quadratic function after rewriting it in vertex form. #dok3
Big Ideas
  • A quadratic function can be represented in multiple forms, each highlighting different attributes of its graph.
  • Transforming a quadratic function to vertex form makes it easier to identify and analyze key features such as vertex and axis of symmetry.
Essential Questions
