Name: Date: School: Facilitator: 5.03 Exploring Vertex Form Use the link provided in the lesson to answer the following questions related to the Vertex Form of a parabola. Answer all questions in complete sentences. 1. What effect does the value of have on the graph? Is this anything like the value of the standard a a form? Explain all observations. 2. What is the equation of the parabola when = 1, = 0, and = 0? a h k = (x )2 + f(x) – 3. What effect does the value of have on the graph? How is the graph translated? Explain your h observations. 4. What effect does the value of have on the graph? How is the graph translated? Explain your k observations. 5. When is negative, there is a minus-negative in the middle of the parentheses. How will this be h simplified? Why will this be simplified?
