Rewrite in standard form: (ax2 + bx + c =0)
Method 1: Factoring From standard form x2 – 2x – 15 = 0

• Opens up if a > 0, down if a < 0 • Has a y –intercept of (0, c) • Is narrower than graph of y = x2 if |a| >1 and wider if |a|<1
• a = – ½, – ½<0 so down [can not be A or C] • c = 3 so the y-int is (0, 3) [can not be B] • a = - ½, |- ½| < 1 so wide [must be D]
