Topic Notes
?
Quadratic functions can be written in three different forms: general form/standard form, vertex form and factored form. The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. In this lesson, we will learn how to draw the graph and to find the x-intercepts, y-intercepts, vertex of quadratic functions in general form.
