Description

The factored form of a quadratic function, expressed as y = a(x − r1)(x − r2), directly reveals the roots r1 and r2  of the function. This form is different from the standard form y = ax2 + bx + c, which requires additional steps to find the roots. Factored form simplifies graphing by providing the x-intercepts directly, making it easier to sketch the parabola. This example illustrates how the graph intersects the x-axis at the points corresponding to the roots, providing a straightforward visual representation of the quadratic function.
