Describe how the vertex form of quadratic functions is similar to the form f(x)= a(x-h)^3 +k for cubic functions. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The cubic function has a local maximum (a=positive) or minimum (a is negative) at x=h.
The derivative of this function is 3a(x-h)^2, so the rate of change of the function is a quadratic, and at x=h the rate of change is 0, the same as the instantaneous rate of change of the quadratic function is 0 at the vertex. The final graph shows what is happening at x=3 and y=4. The last graph is negative a.
