    Graphs For Quadratic Functions

    The document discusses quadratic functions and their graphs called parabolas. It explains that quadratic functions contain a quadratic term (x^2) and may also contain linear and constant terms. The key parts of a parabola include the axis of symmetry, vertex, roots/x-intercepts, and y-intercept. Whether the parabola opens up or down depends on if the a value in the function y=ax^2+bx+c is positive or negative. Steps are provided to graph a quadratic function by finding the vertex, completing a table of values, plotting points, and connecting them with a smooth curve.

    When shooting hoops, the motion of the ball
    forms an arc. This shape is similar to the
    graphs for quadratic functions which are
    called parabolas.
    General Form:

    Parts of the Parabola
     
    Axis of Symmetry :
    the vertical line that divides
    the parabola in 2 parts. Its
    equation is

    x-intercepts or Roots :
    the x-values when f(x) = 0

    y-intercept :
    the y-value when x = 0, Vertex or Turning Point :
    from the function, the c value the highest or lowest point
    of the parabola
    Graphs For Quadratic Functions

    When the “a” value is When the “a” value is


    positive, the graph will have a negative, the graph will have
    minimum turning point or a maximum turning point or
    vertex vertex
    Draw the Graph For the following
    Quadratic Function
     
    The function y = x2 – 2x – 3 is defined in the domain

     • List the elements of the DOMAIN : -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

    • Substitute these values of x into the function in order to obtain the


    corresponding values for y- the RANGE

    • Calculate the coordinates of the turning point

    then substitute the answer into the function given to get the y-value.
    Given y = x2 – 2x – 3 To Complete the table of values, substitute the x-
    values into the function given:
    a = 1, b = -2 and c = -3
    y  =
     y =
    y=4+4–3 y=1+2–3
    At the Vertex: y=0
    y=5

    x  = y  =
    y  =
    x= y=4–4–3
    y= –3
    y = -3
    x=
    x=1 y  =
     y = y = 16 – 8 – 3
    y=9–6–3
    y=5
     y = y=0
    y=1–2–3 The Table of Values is
    y = -4
    x -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
    So the turning point is at (1, -4) y 5 0 -3 -4 -3 0 5
    Using a scale of 2cm to represent 1 unit
    on the x-axis and 1 cm to represent 1 unit
    on the y-axis, plot the points shown in
    your Table of values and draw a smooth
    curve passing through the points on your
    graph.
    Look at your Graph
    Write the equation for
    the axis of symmetry. Does the graph have a
    maximum or a minimum
    Turning Point?
    What are Roots
    of the function?

    What is the State the coordinates of


    y- intercept? the turning point.
    Axis

    from one side across and onto the other.
    This vertical line passes through the
    turning point and has equation

    Domain- All possible x-


    values
    Range – All possible y-values
    Look at the ‘a’ to determine
    whether the turning point is
    maximum or minimum.

    Steps to follow:

    1)Find the coordinates of the


    turning point
    2) Find the y-intercept
    [y-value when x = 0]
