![]() A parabola is a curve that represents the graph of a quadratic function.ĭifferent types of parabolas can have different widths and slopes but the basic U structure always remains the same. Graphing Quadratic Functions in Standard FormĪ quadratic function is defined as f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are all non-zero values. (2x – 3) (2x + 6) = 0 is in Intercept FormĤx 2 + 6x – 18 = 0, which is in Standard Form. (2x – 3) (2x + 6) = 0 Changing from Intercept Form to Standard FormĪ quadratic equation can be transformed from its intercept form to its standard form by multiplying and simplifying (x – p) (x – q): We’ll now factorize the quadratic equation to solve it. To find p and q, we simply utilize any of the quadratic equation solving methods.įor the quadratic equation 4x 2 + 6x – 18 = 0. ![]() The x-intercepts of the quadratic function f(x) = ax² + bx + c = 0 are (p, 0) and (q, 0), respectively, therefore p and q are the roots of the quadratic equation. Changing a Quadratic Equation from Standard to Intercept FormĪ (x – p)(x – q) = 0 is used to transform the standard form of a quadratic equation to the vertex form. ![]() Therefore by substituting (x – h) 2 = (x – h) (x – h),ģx 2 – 4x + 13 = 0, which is in Standard Form. Rewrite quadratic function in standard form: 2 (x 2 – 2x + 1) + 1 = 0 Changing from Vertex Form to Standard Formīy evaluating and simplifying (x – h) 2 = (x – h) (x – h), a quadratic equation can be converted from its vertex form to its standard form: Now we can rewrite Vertex Form into Standard Form as:į(x) = a(x – (-b) 2a )² + 4ac – b² 4a = 0įor Example, For a Standard Quadratic Function f(x) = 4x² + 3x + 10 = 0 Now comparing constants on both sides we get, The standard form of a quadratic function is also referred to as the general form of a quadratic function.Īx 2 + bx + c = ax 2 – 2ah x + (ah 2 + k)Ĭomparing the coefficients of x on both sides, The leading coefficient is always a non-zero real number, and it is denoted by ‘a.’ Otherwise, the function will not be quadratic since the greatest degree of 2 will not exist. Here a, b, and c are the constant coefficients and x is the unknown variable with the highest degree of 2, a is never equal to zero, making f(x) a quadratic function. This is how to write the quadratic function in standard form: How to write a quadratic function in standard form? ![]() Quadratic Functions can be represented in 3 forms: Quadratic Functions are so named because Quad stands for ‘four’ (squared), and a quadratic function’s greatest degree should be 2. Quadratic Functions are defined as second-degree polynomial equation, which means it has at least one term with a power of two. ![]()
