Factoring is the process of changing a STANDARD form quadratic equation into _____________ form.

Intercept

100

Identify the VERTEX of the parabola.

(-4,5)

100

A function whose input is squared. This means there will be two inputs that yield the same output.

The graph of this function is a parabola.

Quadratic Function

100

This form of a quadratic helps us 

easily identify the Y-INTERCEPT.

Standard Form

100

EVALUATE the function for f(-3).

f(x)=x^2-2x+5

f(-3)=20

200

FACTOR the quadratic equation. 

Write in INTERCEPT form.

x^2+8x+12 = 0

y=(x+2)(x+6)

200

Is this parabola concave up or concave down?

Concave Up

200

Input that produces the minimum or maximum output of a quadratic function.

Coordinate at which a parabola changes direction.

Vertex 

(h,k)

200

Write the equation of the parabola in VERTEX form.

y=(x-3)^2-2

200

SOLVE for x.

5=2(x-4)^2-13

x=7   and  x=1

300

FACTOR the quadratic equation. 

Write in INTERCEPT form.
