Math 140 Lecture 28 Y Ax2 Bx C University Of San Diego Flip Ebook Pages 1 5 Anyflip Examine the equation of the form \(y = ax^2 bx c\) We notice that \(a > 0\), therefore the graph is a "smile" and has a minimum turning point Determine the turning point and the axis of symmetry Check that the equation is in standard form and identify the coefficientsFactoring ax2 bx c This section explains how to factor expressions of the form ax2 bx c, where a, b, and c are integers First, factor out all constants which evenly divide all three terms If a is negative, factor out 1 This will leave an expression of the form d (ax2 bx c), where a, b, c, and d are integers, and a > 0 Y ax2 bx c
