QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS
The graph of a quadratic function is a: parabola
y
A parabola can open up
or down. Vertex

If the parabola opens up,


the lowest point is called
the vertex (minimum).
x

If the parabola opens down,


the vertex is the highest point
(maximum). Vertex

NOTE: if the parabola opens left or right it is not a function!


STANDARD FORM
The standard form of a quadratic function is:
y = ax2 + bx + c y

The parabola will


open up when the a a>0
value is positive.

The parabola will


open down when the x

a value is negative.

a<0
AXIS OF SYMMETRY
Parabolas are symmetric.
If we drew a line down Axisy of
the middle of the Symmetry
parabola, we could fold
the parabola in half.

We call this line the


Axis of symmetry.
x

If we graph one side of


the parabola, we could
REFLECT it over the
Axis of symmetry to
graph the other side. The Axis of symmetry ALWAYS
passes through the vertex.

The y-intercept of a
Quadratic function can
Be found when x = 0.

The constant term is always the y- intercept


SOLVING A QUADRATIC
The x-intercepts (when y = 0) of a quadratic function
are the solutions to the related quadratic equation.
The number of real solutions is
at most two.

IDENTIFYING
SOLUTIONS
Find the solutions of 2x - x2 = 0

The solutions of this


quadratic equation can be
found by looking at the
graph of f(x) = 2x – x2

The x-
intercepts(or
Zero’s) of
f(x)= 2x – x2
are the
solutions to X = 0 or X = 2
