Graphing Quadratic Functions

This lesson teaches how to graph quadratic functions using their zeros. It explains the symmetry of parabolas, the significance of intercepts, and how to use factored forms to find zeros. The lesson also covers constructing graphs using symmetry and discusses perfect squares in quadratic functions.

What are the zeros of a quadratic function and how are they related to the graph of the function?

Explain the significance of the vertex in a parabola.

How do you graph a quadratic function using a table of values?

What is the relationship between the factors of a quadratic function and its zeros?

How can you determine the line of symmetry for a quadratic function?

Describe the process of finding the vertical intercept of a quadratic function.

What characteristics do the functions F of X = X^2 and F of X = (X + 3)^2 share?
