GRAPH OF A
QUADRATIC FUCTION
• The graph of a quadratic function y = ax + bx + c is called
parabola .
y = x² - 4x + 1
y = (x² - 4x) + 1
y= (x² - 4x + 4) + 1 - 4
y = (x - 2)² -3
h = 2 k =-3 Axis of symmetry: 2
Direction of the opening of Direction of the opening of
the parabola – if the value the parabola, intercepts
of a>0, then the parabola
opens upward and has
minimum point. If the
value of a < 0, then the Example:
y = x² - 4x + 4
parabola opens downward a= 1
Opening of the parabola: Upward
and has maximum point. Vertex is a minimum point
x - intercept: Let y = 0
x² - 4x + 4 =0
Intercepts – x – intercept (x - 2)(x - 2) =0
x=2
( let y be zero then solve (2, 0)
for x) y intercept:
y- intercept (y = c) y=c
y=4 (0, 4)
