Title: Quadratic Equations


1
Quadratic Equations
2
A quadratic equation is an equation of the form
y
3
Properties of the Graph of a Quadratic Equation
y
y
Parabola opens up if a gt 0 the vertex is a
minimum point. Parabola opens down if a lt 0 the
vertex is a maximum point.
4
Graphs of a quadratic function y ax2 bx c
Vertex is highest point

a gt 0
a lt 0
Opens up
Opens down
Vertex is lowest point
5
Steps for Graphing a Quadratic Equation by Hand
  • Determine the axis of symmetry
  • Determine the vertex.
  • The vertex
  • Factor the equation to find the x intercepts
  • Find the solution of the factors
  • Graph.

6
Without graphing, locate the vertex and find the
axis of symmetry of the following parabola. Does
it open up or down?
The Axis Of Symmetry
Vertex is (-1,0)
Since A gt 0 the parabola opens up.
7
Find the X intercepts by factoring the Quadratic
The Product is -3 The Sum is 2
The Factors are 3 and -1
Therefore (x3) (x-1) The Solutions are x -3
and x 1
8
Graph
Remember When you plot the vertex, it goes on
the Line Of Symmetry!

Determine whether the graph opens up or
down. Find its vertex and axis of symmetry.
