SP#1: Unit E concept 1: Graphing Quadratics and identifying all key parts

 This problem is about how to convert a function into a parent function. When you have found your parent function you must be able to pick out your vertex from this equation simply by looking at it. To Find the y-intercept you just plug 0 into x and solve. The axis will always be x= a number. To solve for the x-intercept you solve the function.

In order to solve this  function you must look out for the signs. Also. If a number is factored outside the parenthesis to remember to bring it back down in the equation later on DON'T FORGET ABOUT IT. When finding the Axis you must take the opposite sign of that number because when it is inside the parenthesis that is what you do, The way that yo graph it. Lastly, remember that if the x-intercept ponts do end up being real numbers that you must solve completely.
