From these 3 points, it's possible to sketch out a rough graph of what the quadratic graph looks like.\r\n\r\nThe <strong>intercepts<\/strong> are where the quadratic equation crosses the \\(x\\)-axis and are found when the quadratic is set to equal 0. So instead of the quadratic looking like \\(y = ax^2 + bx + c\\), it is instead factored from the form \\(0 = ax^2 + bx + c\\) to get its \\(x\\)-intercepts (roots). For expedience, you can get these values using the quadratic equation.\r\n\r\n\\[x=\\dfrac{-b\\pm (b^2-4ac)^{\\frac{1}{2}}}{2a}\\]\r\n\r\nThe <strong>vertex<\/strong> is found by using the quadratic equation where the discriminant equals zero, which gives us the \\(x\\)-coordinate of \\(x = \\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\). The \\(y\\)-coordinate of the vertex is then found by placing the \\(x\\)-coordinate of the vertex \\(\\left(x = \\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\right)\\) back into the original quadratic \\((y = ax^2 + bx + c)\\) and solving for \\(y\\).\r\n\r\nThe vertex then takes the form of \\(\\left[\\dfrac{-b}{2a}, a\\left(\\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\right)^2 + \\left(\\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\right)x + c\\right]\\), or simply as \\(\\left[\\dfrac{-b}{2a}, f\\left(\\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\right)\\right].\\)\r\n\r\nWhat is new here is finding the vertex, so consider the following examples.\r\n<div class=\"textbox textbox--examples\"><header class=\"textbox__header\">\r\n<p class=\"textbox__title\">Example 10.6.1<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/header>\r\n<div class=\"textbox__content\">\r\n\r\nFind the vertex of \\(y = x^2 + 6x - 7\\).\r\n\r\nFor this equation, \\(a = 1\\), \\(b = 6\\) and \\(c = -7\\).\r\n\r\nThis means that the \\(x\\)-coordinate of the vertex \\(x = \\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\) will give us the value \\(x = \\dfrac{-(6)}{2(1)}= -3\\).\r\n\r\nWe now use this \\(x\\)-coordinate to find the \\(y\\)-coordinate.\r\n\r\n\\[\\begin{array}{ccccccc}\r\ny&amp;=&amp;ax^2&amp;+&amp;bx&amp;+&amp;c \\\\\r\ny&amp;=&amp;1(-3)^2&amp;+&amp;6(-3)&amp;-&amp;7 \\\\\r\ny&amp;=&amp;9&amp;-&amp;18&amp;-&amp;7 \\\\\r\ny&amp;=&amp;-16&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;\r\n\\end{array}\\]\r\n\r\nThe vertex is at \\(x = -3\\) and \\(y = -16\\) and can be given by the coordinate \\((-3, -16)\\).\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\nThe \\(x\\)-intercepts or roots of the quadratic in Example 10.6.1 are found by factoring \\(x^2 + 6x - 7 = 0\\).\r\n\r\nFor this problem, the quadratic factors to \\((x + 7)(x - 1) = 0\\), which means the roots are \\(x = -7\\) and \\(x = 1\\).
