      • x-intercepts
      • vertex

    2. Sketch the graph.

Introduction to quadratic functions
Notes
Besides the general form, the vertex form is also another way to express a quadratic function. In this lesson, we will talk about how to find the x-intercepts, y-intercepts, vertex of quadratic functions in vertex form.
