Mathematics9 Quadraticfunctions

The document discusses quadratic functions and how to graph them. It defines a quadratic function as a second degree polynomial in the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c. It explains that the vertex form is f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex. It provides steps for graphing a quadratic function given in vertex form or standard form, such as finding the x-intercepts, y-intercept, and vertex and connecting those points.

Equation:
f(x) = ax2 + bx + c
where a, b, and c are real numbers
QUADRATIC FUNCTION
Vertex Form Equation:
f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k
where, a ≠ 0
QUADRATIC FUNCTION
Parabola
• It is the graph of the quadratic equation
QUADRATIC FUNCTION
If a > 0, the parabola opens upward

If a < 0, the parabola opens downward


y = a(x-h)2 + k

Vertex: (h,k)
Axis of Symmetry: x = h
GRAPHING A PARABOLA
WITH EQUATION IN VERTEX
FORM
To graph f(x) = a(x-h)2 + k
1. Determine whether the parabola opens upward or
downward. If a > 0, it opens upward. If a < 0, it opens
downward
2. Determine the vertex of the parabola. The vertex is (h,
k)

FORM
3. Find any x-intercept by replacing f(x) with 0. Solve
the resulting quadratic equation for x.
4. Find the y-intercept by replacing x with 0. Solve
the resulting equation for y.
5. Plot the intercepts and vertex. Connect these
points with a smooth curve
GRAPHING QUADRATIC
FUNCTIONS
1. Determine the coordinates of the vertex by finding
−b
the x-coordinate from the formula x = .
2a
Substitute the x-coordinate into the original
quadratic function, and solve for y to determine
the y-coordinate for the vertex

FUNCTIONS
2. Determine a table of values by choosing at least
two x-values that are greater than the x-
coordinate of the vertex and two corresponding x-
values that are less than the x-coordinate of the
vertex

FUNCTIONS
3. Graph the function by plotting the vertex and the
set of ordered pairs from the table of values.
Next, connect the points with a smooth curve.
