Study Notes
- Given a graph, the equation of a quadratic function can be found using either the vertex form or the standard form.
- Vertex form (y = a(x - h)^2 + k) requires knowing the vertex and one other point on the graph, making it easier as only two points are needed.
- Standard form (y = ax^2 + bx + c) requires three points to find the quadratic function, involving the variables a, b, and c.
- To find the equation in standard form without the vertex, use the three given points and solve for a, b, and c using systems of equations.
- Starting with the y-intercept point (when x is 0) helps to determine the value of c in the standard form.
- By substituting the given points into the standard form, a system of two equations with two variables (a and b) can be set up and solved using the elimination method.
- Once the values of a, b, and c are found, they can be substituted back into the standard form equation to get the final equation of the quadratic function.
- If two points are given and one is the vertex, it is recommended to use the vertex form of the quadratic equation for easier calculation.
