Graphing Quadratic Functions

Where the minimum or maximum value of a quadratic function occurs

• Vertex of a Parabola

• Axis of Symentry

• Parent Function

• Quadratic

The y value of the vertex is considered the parabola's...

• Maximum or Minimum value

• Axis of Symetry

• Vertex

• Quadratic

• Quadratic parent function

• Equation

• Polynomial

• Trinomial

The line that passes through the vertex of a parabola and divides the parabola into two symmetrical parts

• Vertex

• Axis of Symetry

• Parent function

• Transfomation

A change that shifts a graph horizontally, vertically, or both. This does not change the shape of the graph.

• Translation

• Transformation

• Vertex

• Reflection

Change in the position, size, or shape of a parent graph

• Translation

• Transformation

• Vertex

• Reflection

Find the axis of symmetry for the graph

• x = -1

• x = 1

• x = 3

• x = -1 , 3

What is the vertex?

• (0, - 1)

• (0, 0.5)

• (-1, 0)

• (0.5, 0)

Which of the following functions graphs the parabola shown?

• y = x² - 4x + 1

• y = -2x² - 8x - 3

• y = x² - 4x + 5

• y = 2x² + 6x + 1
