Quadratic Functions and Their Graphs
Objective:
Graph quadratic functions of the form f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k

3. We first examined the graph of y = x2 back in chapter 3
We first examined the graph of y = x2 back in chapter 3. Then wee looked at the graphs of general quadratic functions of the form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c.
We discovered that the graph of a quadratic function is a parabola opening upward or downward, depending on the coefficient of the x2 term, a.
The highest point or lowest point on the parabola is the vertex.
Axis of symmetry is the line that runs through the vertex and through the middle of the parabola.

4. Graphing the Parabola Defined by f(x) = x2 + k
If k is positive, the graph of y = x2 is shifted
If k is negative, the graph of y = x2 is shifted
The vertex is (0, k), and the axis of symmetry is the y-axis.

down │k│ units.
Graphing the Parabola Defined by f(x) = (x – h)2
If f(x) = (x – h)2, the graph of y = x2 is shifted
If f(x) = (x + h)2 , the graph of y = x2 is shifted
The vertex is (h, 0), and the axis of symmetry is the x = h.
to the right h units.
to the left |h| units.

5. Graphing the Parabola Defined by f(x) = (x – h)2 + k
The parabola has the same shape as y = x2.
The vertex is (h, k), and the axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = h.

6. Example 1 f(x) = x2 Vertex: Axis of sym: g(x) = x2 + 3 Vertex:
(0,0) x y
x = 0
g(x) = x2 + 3
Vertex:
Axis of sym:
(0,3)
x = 0
h(x) = x2 – 3
Vertex:
Axis of sym:
(0,–3)
x = 0

7. Example 2 Given the graph f(x) = x2.
Graph g(x) = (x – 3)2 and h(x) = (x + 3)2.
f(x) = x2
g(x) = (x – 3)2
Vertex:
Axis:
Vertex: (3, 0)
Axis: x = 3
h(x) = (x + 3)2
Vertex:
Axis:
Vertex: (3, 0)
Axis: x = 3

8. Example 3 Graph g(x) = (x – 2)2 + 4 f(x) = x2 g(x) = (x – 2)2 + 4y
g(x) = (x – 2)2 + 4
Vertex:
Axis:
(2, 4)
x = 2

9. Graph g(x) = 3x2 and h(x) = (1/3)x2
Example 4
Graph f(x) = x2
Graph g(x) = 3x2 and h(x) = (1/3)x2
How do the shapes of the graphs compare? x y
f(x) = x2
g(x) = 3x2
h(x) = (1/3)x2
Time out on the whiteboard: graphing with a steepness of ½, ¼, 2/5, …

10. Graphing the Parabola Defined by f(x) = ax2
If a is positive, the parabola open upward, and if a is negative, the parabola opens downward.
If |a| > 1, the graph of the parabola is narrower than the graph of y = x2.
If |a| < 1, the graph of the parabola is wider than the graph of y = x2.

11. Example 5
Graph g(x) = –4(x + 2)2 – 1. Find the vertex and axis of symmetry. Vertex: Axis of sym: The graph opens: The steepness is: The graph is shifted:
(–2, –1)
x = –2

4 times as steep as y= x2.

18. Vertex Formula
The graph of f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, when a ≠ 0, is a parabola with vertex

19. Example 2
The Utah Ski Club sells calendars to raise money. The profit P, in cents, from selling x calendars is given by the equation P(x) = 360x – x2. What is the maximum profit the club will earn? a = 1 and b = 360
Since the maximum value will occur at the vertex, we find the coordinates according to the previous formula.
The maximum profit will occur when the club sells 180 calendars. We substitute that number into the profit formula to find
P(180) = 360(180) – (180)2
= – 32400
= cents
= $324

Graphing Rational Functions by Transformations
Objectives:
Find the domain of rational functions
Graph f(x) = 1/x and f(x) = 1/x2
Identify vertical and horizontal asymptotes.
Use transformations to graph rational functions.

24. Rational functions are quotients of polynomial functions
Rational functions are quotients of polynomial functions. This means that rational functions can be expresses as where p and q are polynomial functions and q(x) ≠ 0. The domain of a rational function consists of all real numbers except the x-values that make the denominator zero.

25. Example 1 Find the domain of the rational functions:
Domain: we can NEVER divide by 0 so x – 4 ≠ 0
x ≠ 4
Domain: all real #’s except 4
Domain: we can NEVER divide by 0 so x2 – 36 ≠ 0
x ≠ ±6
Domain: all real #’s except 6 or –6

26. The most basic rational function is the reciprocal function, defined by f(x) = 1/x2. The denominator of the reciprocal function is zero when x = 0, so the domain of f is the set of all real numbers except 0. 1 1
1/9
1/9 4 4
Vertical asymptote:
x = 0
Horizontal asymptote:
y = 0

27. Locating Vertical Asymptotes Let be a rational function in which p(x) and q(x) have no common factors. If a is a zero of q(x), the denominator, then x = a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f.

28. Example 2
Find the vertical asymptotes, if any, of the graphs of the rational function.
Domain:
x – 4 ≠ 0
x ≠ 4
Vertical Asy:

Domain:
x + 6 ≠ 0, x – 6 ≠ 0

Vertical Asy:

Domain:

38. The graph of a rational function has a slant asymptote if the degree of the numerator is one more than the degree of the denominator. The equation of the slant asymptote can be found by division.

To find the equation of the slant asymptote divide x – 3 into x2 – 4x – 5. The slant asymptote is y = x – 1 3 1 –4 –5 –3 –1 -8
