What different information do you get from vertex form and quadratic equation in standard form?
The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. If you put the equation (or function) into vertex form, you can read off the coordinates of the vertex, and you know the shape and orientation (up/down) of the parabola.
What does the power do to the shape of a graph?
It depends on whether the value of the power.
How do you graph a quadratic equation?
A quadratic equation is an equation with the form: y=Ax2+Bx+C The most important point when graphing a parabola (the shape formed by a quadratic) is the vertex. The vertex is the maximum or minimum of the parabola. The x value of the vertex is equal to -B/(2A). Once you have the x value, just plug it back into the original equation to get the corresponding y value. The resulting ordered pair is the location of the vertex. A parabola will be concave up (pointed downward) if A is +. It will be concave down (pointed upward) if A is -. It is often helpful to find the zeroes of a function when graphing. This can be done by factoring or using the quadratic formula. For every n units away from the vertex on the x-axis, the corresponding y value goes up (or down) by n2*A. Parabolas are symetrical along the vertex, which means that if one point is n units from the vertex, the point -n units from the vertex has the same y value. As an example take the following quadratic: 2x2-8x+3 A=2, B=-8, and C=3 The x value of the vertex is -B/2A=-(-8)/(2*2)=2 By plugging 2 into the original equation we get that the vertex is at (2,-5) 3 units to the right (x=5) has a y value of -5+32*2=13. This means that 3 units to the left (x=-1) has the same y value (-1,13). If you need a clearer explanation, ask a math teacher.
How do you find the perimeter of a shape on a graph?
It is very hard but if you have the right stuff you can do it.
