Graphs of Quadratic EqnsGraphs of Quadratic Eqns

All quadratic functions have graphs similar to y = x2. Such curves are called parabolas. They are U-shaped and symmetric with respect to a vertical line known as the parabola’s line of symmetry or axis of symmetry.

For the graph of f(x) = x2, the y-axis is the axis of symmetry. The point (0, 0) is known as the vertex of this parabola.

Graphing Graphing ff((xx) = ) = axax22

The graph of f(x) = ax2 is a parabola with • x = 0 as its axis of symmetry.

• The Origin, (0,0) as its vertex.

For Positive a the parabola opens upward For Negative a the parabola opens downward If |a| is greater than 1; e.g., 4, the parabola is

narrower (tighter) than y = x2. If |a| is between 0 and 1 e.g., ¼, the parabola

is wider (broader) than y = x2.



The Graph of The Graph of ff((xx) = ) = aa((xx – – hh))22

We could next consider graphs of f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where b and c are not both 0.

It turns out to be convenient to first graph f(x) = a(x – h)2, where h is some constant; i.e., h is a NUMBER

This allows us to observe similarities to the graphs drawn in previous slides.

Graphing Graphing ff((xx) = ) = aa((xx−−hh))22

The graph of y = f(x) = a(x – h)2 has the same shape as the graph of y = ax2.

If h is positive, the graph of y = ax2 is shifted h units to the right.

If h is negative, the graph of y = ax2 is shifted |h| units to the left.

The vertex is (h, 0) and the axis of symmetry is x = h.



Graph of Graph of ff((xx) = ) = aa((xx – – hh))22 + + kk

Given a graph of f(x) = a(x – h)2, what happens if we add a constant k?

Suppose we add k = 3. This increases f(x) by 3, so the curve moves up • If k is negative, the curve moves down.

The axis of symmetry for the parabola remains x = h, but the vertex will be at (h, k), or equivalently (h, f(h))• f(h) = a([h] – h)2 + k = 0 + k → f(h) = k

Quadratic Fcn in Standard FormQuadratic Fcn in Standard Form

The Quadratic Function Written in STANDARD Form:

f x a x h 2 k , a 0

The graph of f is a parabola with vertex (h, k). The parabola is symmetric with respect to the line x = h, called the axis of the parabola. If a > 0, the parabola opens up, and if a < 0, the parabola opens down.



Example Example Find Quadratic Fcn Find Quadratic Fcn

Find the standard form of the quadratic function whose graph has vertex (−3, 4) and passes through the point ( −4, 7).

SOLUTION: Let y = f(x) be the quadratic function. Then

y a x h 2 k

y a x 3 2 4

y a x 3 2 4

7 a –4 3 2 4

Hence,

y 3 x 3 2 4



Graphing Graphing ff((xx) = ) = aa((xx – – hh))22 + + kk

1. The graph is a parabola. • Identify a, h, and k

2. Determine how the parabola opens. • If a > 0 (positive), the parabola opens up.

• If a < 0 (negative), the parabola opens down.

3. Find the vertex. The vertex is (h, k). • If a > 0 (or a < 0), the function f has a

minimum (or a maximum) value k at x = h




4. Find the x-intercepts.• Find the x-intercepts (if any) by setting

f(x) = 0 and solving the equation a(x – h)2 + k = 0 for x.

– Solve by one of: [Factoring + ZeroProducts], Quadratic Formula, CompleteSquare

– If the solutions are real numbers, they are the x-intercepts.

– If the solutions are NOT Real Numbers, the parabola either lies above the x–axis (when a > 0) or below the x–axis (when a < 0).




5. Find the y-intercept• Find the y-intercept by replacing x with 0.

Then y = f(0) = ah2 + k is the y-intercept.

6. Sketch the graph• Plot the points found in Steps 3-5 and join

them by a parabola. – If desired, show the axis of symmetry, x = h,

for the parabola by drawing a dashed vertical line

Step 1 a = 2, h = 3, and k = –8Step 2 a = 2, a > 0, the parabola opens up.Step 3 (h, k) = (3, –8); the function f has a

minimum value –8 at x = 3.Step 4 Set f (x) = 0 and solve for x.

Completing the SquareCompleting the Square

By completing the square, we can rewrite any polynomial ax2 + bx + c in the form a(x – h)2 + k.

Once that has been done, the procedures just discussed enable us to graph any quadratic function.

SOLUTION

f (x) = x2 – 2x – 1

= (x2 – 2x) – 1

= (x2 – 2x + 1) – 1 – 1

By the Process of Completing-the-Square we arrive at a FORMULA for the vertex of a parabola given by f(x) = ax2 + bx + c:

a a a a

• The x-coordinate of the vertex is −b/(2a).

• The axis of symmetry is x = −b/(2a).

• The second coordinate of the vertex is most commonly found by computing f(−b/[2a])



Graphing Graphing ff((xx) = ) = axax22 + bx + c + bx + c

1. The graph is a parabola. Identify a, b, and c

2. Determine how the parabola opens• If a > 0, the parabola opens up.

• If a < 0, the parabola opens down

3. Find the vertex (h, k). Use the formula

4. Find the x-interceptsLet y = f(x) = 0. Find x by solving the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0.

• If the solutions are real numbers, they are the x-intercepts.

• If not, the parabola either lies – above the x–axis when a > 0

– below the x–axis when a < 0




5. Find the y-intercept. Let x = 0. The result f(0) = c is the y-intercept.

6. The parabola is symmetric with respect to its axis, x = −b/(2a)

• Use this symmetry to find additional points.

7. Draw a parabola through the points found in Steps 3-6.
