It is easier to understand this module if you know how to find the coordinates of
points, particularly the zeroes, on a graph of a quadratic function. Recall that zeros of
the quadratic function are actually the x-intercepts of the parabola that corresponds to
it.

Determine the zeroes of the quadratic function whose graphs are given below:

WHAT’S NEW

The graph of a quadratic function is a smooth curve called a parabola. A

parabola may intersect the x–axis at two points, one point or no point at all.

two points one point no point

The x-coordinates of the points of intersection of the parabola and the x-axis
are the zeroes of the quadratic function if it exists. Graphically, these are the x-
intercepts of the graph of a quadratic function.

How will the points on the parabola, particularly the x-intercepts or the zeroes
of the function, help in determining the equation of the quadratic function represented

WHAT IS IT

Deriving Quadratic Function Given Its Graph

If the graphs representing quadratic function y = ax 2 + bx + c is given, the

equation representing the graph can be determined given any of the following
conditions:
a. Three points on the parabola, not x-intercepts nor vertex
b. The x-intercepts and a point on the parabola, if coordinates a vertex are
not integral
c. A vertex and a point of the parabola

Take note that it is more convenient if the points to consider are integral values .
Study the examples below.

Example 1: Determine the quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + c represented by the

given graphs.

a. b.

Solution:
a. In the graph, the most convenient points to considers are the x-intercepts, (-2, 0)
and (1,0) and the y-intercept (0, -2)

Given three points on the graph, you can find the equation of quadratic function
creating systems of equation in three unknowns. However, if the x-intercepts are given,
you can have an alternate solution:

5
 GRADE 9
Learning Module for Junior High School Mathematics
If x = -2 and x = 1 are the x-intercepts,
then (x + 2) and (x – 1) are factors of the
equation of quadratic function. Thus,

y = a (x + 2) (x -1)

Take note that the value of a is not

always 1 and the third point on the graph can
help solve for the value of a. Substitute (0, -2)
to the equation,
-2 = a (0 + 2) (0 – 1)
-2 = -2a
a=1
Substitute the obtained value to the
equation and simplify,
y = 1(x + 2) (x – 1)
y = x2 + x – 2

b. In this graph, the most convenient points to

consider are the vertex (-1, 0), the y-intercept
(0, -1) and any of the points (-3, -4) or (1, -4).

However, if the vertex is given, you only

need one of the point mentioned above.

Substitute the coordinates of the vertex

(-1, 0) in the vertex form of the equation of
quadratic function,
y = a (x+1)2 + 0
Find the value of a by choosing any of
the points (0, -1), (-3, -4) or (1, -4), then
substitute:
-1 = a (0 + 1)2
-1 = a
Substitute a = -1 in the equation, then transform it into y = ax 2 + bx + c;
y = -1 (x + 1)2 → y = -x2 – 2x – 1

Deriving Quadratic Function Given Its Zeroes

If the zeroes are given, then the equation of the quadratic function can be
determined. Recall that zeroes, x 1 and x2, of the function are the roots, of the
equivalent quadratic equation,

y = (x – x1) (x – x2) → 0 = (x – x1) (x – x2)

Example 2: Determine the quadratic function given the following zeroes:

2
a. 5, -3 b. 4, c. 1 + √3
3

6
 GRADE 9
Learning Module for Junior High School Mathematics
Solution:
a. If 5 and -3 are zeroes of quadratic function y = ax 2 + bx + c, then (x – 5) and [x –(-3)]
are factors of y,
y = (x – 5) (x + 3) → y = x2 -2x – 15
2
b. If 4 and are zeroes of quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + c, then (x – 5) and
3
2
(𝑥 − ) are factors of y,
3
2
y = (x – 5) (𝑥 − )
3
y = (x – 5) (3x – 2)
y = 3x2 -17x + 10

c. If 1 + √3 is a zero of quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + c, then its conjugate 1 - √3 is

also a zero of the function, thus [x + (1 + √3 )] and [x – (1 - √3 )] are factors of y,

y = [x - (1 + √3 )] [x – (1 - √3 )]
y = [(x – 1) - √3 ] [ (x – 1) + √3 ]
y = (x – 1)2 - √32
y = x2 – 2x + 1 – 3
y = x2 – 2x - 2

equations given the graph or zeros of a quadratic function? If not, go back to those
parts that you find challenging and study further.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

1. If the graphs representing quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + c is given, the

equation representing the graph can be determined given any of the following
conditions:
a. Three points on the parabola, not x-intercepts nor vertex
b. The x-intercepts and a point on the parabola, if coordinates a
vertex are not integral
c. A vertex and a point of the parabola
2. The zeroes, x1 and x2, of the function are the roots, of the equivalent
quadratic equation. That is,
y = (x – x1) (x – x2) → 0 = (x – x1) (x – x2)
