Final answer:
The question involves converting a quadratic function between standard, vertex, and intercept forms. Methods for conversion include completing the square and factoring. An understanding of quadratic equations and second-order polynomials is essential.Correct option is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
the standard form (f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c), the vertex form (f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k), where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola, and the intercept form (f(x) = a(x - p)(x - q)), where p and q are the x-intercepts of the parabola.
To convert between these forms, one can start with the given form of the quadratic equation and use algebraic manipulation. For instance, to go from standard to vertex form, one can complete the square. To convert from standard to intercept form, one would factor the quadratic expression.
Knowing how to interpret the equation of a line, including understanding the meaning of slope (m) and intercept (b), is crucial when dealing with linear functions, but for quadratic functions, it's about understanding the parameters a, b, and c, as well as the solution of quadratic equations.
In this scenario, it is not clear which specific function is being referred to, but the keywords suggest dealing with functions that might include a linear component (described by slope and intercept) and a quadratic component (second-order polynomials or quadratic functions).
