Graphing Quadratic Functions Honors Algebra II with Trigonometry Mr. Agnew
Essential Stuff Essential Question Essential Vocabulary How do you graph quadratic functions? Essential Vocabulary Quadratic Function Vertex Standard Form
Quadratic Functions Standard Form: y = ax2 + bx + c The graph of a quadratic equation is a parabola.
Quadratic Functions Vertex: The highest or lowest point on a parabola Axis of symmetry: Divides the parabola into mirror images and passes through the vertex
Quadratic Functions Every point on a parabola (except the vertex) has a corresponding point the same distance from the axis of symmetry.
Graphs of Quadratics Graphing quadratics from standard form… Identify axis of symmetry: x = – b_ 2a Identify vertex using axis of symmetry Find a point on parabola and use symmetry to find another point (i.e., y-intercept) Examples
