13 4.2 Graph Quadratic Functions in Verte or Intercept Form Before You graphed quadratic functions in standard form. Now You will graph quadratic functions in verte form or intercept form. Wh? So ou can find the height of a jump, as in E. 5. Ke Vocabular verte form intercept form In Lesson 4., ou learned that the standard form of a quadratic function is 5 a 2 b c where a Þ 0. Another useful form of a quadratic function is the verte form, 5 a( 2 h) 2 k. KEY CONCEPT For Your Notebook Graph of Verte Form 5 a( 2 h) 2 k The graph of 5 a( 2 h) 2 k is the parabola 5 a 2 translated horizontall h units and verticall k units. Characteristics of the graph of 5 a( 2 h) 2 k: The verte is (h, k). The ais of smmetr is 5 h. 5 a 2 The graph opens up if a > 0 and down if a < 0.

14 E XAMPLE 2 Use a quadratic model in verte form CIVIL ENGINEERING The Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington has two towers that each rise 307 feet above the roadwa and are connected b suspension cables as shown. Each cable can be modeled b the function ( 2 400)2 27 where and are measured in feet. What is the distance d between the two towers? Solution The verte of the parabola is (400, 27). So, a cable s lowest point is 400 feet from the left tower shown above. Because the heights of the two towers are the same, the smmetr of the parabola implies that the verte is also 400 feet from the right tower. So, the distance between the two towers is d 5 2(400) feet. GUIDED PRACTICE for Eamples and 2 Graph the function. Label the verte and ais of smmetr.. 5 ( 2) ( 2 ) f() 5 2 ( 2 3) WHAT IF?

How far is the football kicked? b. What is the football s maimum height? Solution a. Rewrite the function as ( 2 0)( 2 46). Because p 5 0 and q 5 46, ou know the -intercepts are 0 and 46. So, ou can conclude that the football is kicked a distance of 46 ards. b. To find the football s maimum height, calculate the coordinates of the verte. 5 p q (23)( ) ø 3.8 The maimum height is the -coordinate of the verte, or about 3.8 ards.
