1. consider a function that of the form f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, where a≠0. (a) what is the name for a function of this form? (b) what is the shape of its graph called? 2. convert the given form of the function into the other two forms. (a) standard form: y=x^2-2x-3 (b) vertex form: y-5=-2(x+1)^2 (c) intercept form: y=(x+2)(x-3)

1.  f(x) is a quadratic function.

(b) The shape is called a parabola.

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
