Determining Quadratic Equations

The document discusses how to determine the equation of a parabola from its graph by using the x-intercepts as solutions to a quadratic equation, and how the axis of symmetry is the midpoint between the x-intercepts; examples are provided where students must determine the equation and axis of symmetry given graphs of parabolas with specified x-intercepts.

Learning Objective

Today I will use the graph of a parabola


to determine the quadratic equation and
axis of symmetry.
Anticipatory
How would you determine the equation of the
parabola? What about the axis of symmetry?
Remember

The x-intercepts are the solutions to


a quadratic equation.

The axis of symmetry is the midpoint


between the x-intercepts.
