Whats the standard form of the quadratic function for x=-3 and x=12

The functions in parts (a) and (b) of Exercise 1 are examples of quadratic functions in standard form. When a quadratic function is in standard form, then it is easy to sketch its graph by reflecting, shifting, and stretching/shrinking the parabola y = x2.

The quadratic function f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k, a not equal to zero, is said to be in standard form. If a is positive, the graph opens upward, and if a is negative, then it opens downward. The line of symmetry is the vertical line x = h, and the vertex is the point (h,k).

Any quadratic function can be rewritten in standard form by completing the square. (See the section on solving equations algebraically to review completing the square.) The steps that we use in this section for completing the square will look a little different, because our chief goal here is not solving an equation.

Note that when a quadratic function is in standard form it is also easy to find its zeros by the square root principle.
