CCGPS AG 5.3.2 Example 2

Identify the -intercepts, the axis of symmetry, and the vertex of the quadratic . Use this information to graph the function.

1. Identify the -intercepts and plot the points.
2. Determine the axis of symmetry to find the vertex.
3. Graph the zeros, the vertex, and the axis of symmetry of the given equation.
4. Sketch the function based on the zeros and the vertex.
