Start by identifying the values of a, b, and c.
Vertex: (1,6)
Axis of Symmetry: x=1
Graph:
To draw the graph of the given quadratic function, written in standard form, we must start by identifying the values of a, b, and c. y=- 4x^2+8x+2 ⇔ y=- 4x^2+8x+2 We can see that a=- 4, b=8, and c=2. Now, we will follow four steps to graph the function.
a= - 4, b={\color{#009600}{\textcolor{#9400D3}8}}
The y-intercept of the graph of a quadratic function written in standard form is given by the value of c. Thus, the point where our graph intercepts the y-axis is (0,2). Let's plot this point and its reflection across the axis of symmetry.
We can now draw the graph of the function. Since a=- 4, which is negative, the parabola will open downwards. Let's connect the three points with a smooth curve.
