Graphing Quadratics Day 3

Graphing Quadratics

Open Ended

Question of the Day:

If you were reincarnated as an animal, what would it be and why?

Definition:

A quadratic equation forms a parabola, a "U" shaped graph.

In standard form, a quadatric is of the form y= Ax² + Bx + C

Maximum

Has a "High" point (upside down "u")

If "A" is positive the shape will be a "U" and there will be a minimum.

If "A" is negative the shape will be a "⋂" and there will be a maximum.

Vertex

intercepts

X intercepts where the graph intersects the x - axis

Y intercept is always at (0, C)
If your equation is not in Standard form (C is in the equation) you can find it by replacing "x" with "0" and solving

Match

Match the following

• Parent Function of a Quadratic

• Standard Form of a Quadratic

• Vertex Form of a Quadratic

f(x) = x²

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

• f(x) = x²

• f(x) = ax² + bx + c

• f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
