The quadratic function is
.
The above function compare with
.
Rewrite the function 
a = 0.25 , b = 3 and c = 4.
\The y-intercept of the equation is c = 4.
\The equation of the axis symmetry is
.
(Substitute the values a = 0.25 and b = 3)
(Simplify)
The x-coordinate of the vertex is
.
The equation of the axis symmetry is
and x-coordinate of the vertex is
.
Make a table of values that includes the vertex.
