Function Operations

Part 1: Warming Up with

Vertex Form

Standard to Vertex

Graph f(x) = 2x² - 4x + 5

Identify a and the vertex (h, k).

Write the equation in vertex form.

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

Part 2: Developing

Formulas for the Vertex

How could you determine if these are the same function?

You can determine if they are the same by graphing or
converting the vertex form to standard form.

This Example

Generalized Example

Plugging in a, b, and c values from g(x) to find vertex.
