5.1 Graphing Quadratic Functions Do now: Make up three examples of linear functions. How do you know they are linear? OBJ: to graph quadratic functions & use quadratic functions to solve real-life problems
2
Quadratic Function A function of the form y=ax 2 +bx+c where a≠0 makes a u-shaped graph called a _________. A function of the form y=ax 2 +bx+c where a≠0 makes a u-shaped graph called a _________. Example quadratic equation: parabola
3
Vertex- The lowest or highest point of a parabola. Vertex Axis of symmetry- The vertical line through the vertex of the parabola. Axis of Symmetry
4
Standard Form- y=ax 2 + bx + c y=ax 2 + bx + c If a is positive, u opens up If a is positive, u opens up If a is negative, u opens down The x-coordinate of the vertex is at The x-coordinate of the vertex is at To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, plug the x-coordinate into the given eqn. The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x= The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x= Choose an x-value & use the eqn to find the corresponding y-value. Then use symmetry to find another point Choose an x-value & use the eqn to find the corresponding y-value. Then use symmetry to find another point Graph and label the points and axis of symmetry on a coordinate plane. Connect the points with a smooth curve. Graph and label the points and axis of symmetry on a coordinate plane. Connect the points with a smooth curve.

Vertex Form- y = a(x - h)2 + k If a is positive, parabola opens up If a is negative, parabola opens down. The vertex is the point (h, k). The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x=h. Don’t forget about 2 points on either side of the vertex!
10
Ex 2: Graph y= -.5(x + 3) 2 + 4 a is negative, a = -.5, so parabola opens down. a is negative, a = -.5, so parabola opens down. Vertex is (h,k) or (-3, 4) Vertex is (h,k) or (-3, 4) Axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = -3 Axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = -3 Table of values x y Table of values x y -1 2 -1 2 -3 4 -3 4 -5 2 -5 2 Vertex (-3,4) (-4,3.5) (-5,2) (-2,3.5) (-1,2) x=-3

Intercept Form- y = a(x-p)(x-q) If a is positive, parabola opens up If a is positive, parabola opens up If a is negative, parabola opens down. The x-intercepts are the points (p, 0) and (q, 0). The x-intercepts are the points (p, 0) and (q, 0). The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x= The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x= The x-coordinate of the vertex is The x-coordinate of the vertex is To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, plug the x-coord. into the equation and solve for y.
15
Ex 3: Graph y = -(x + 2)(x - 4) Since a is negative, parabola opens down. The x-intercepts are (-2, 0) and (4, 0) To find the x-coord. of the vertex, use To find the y-coord., plug 1 in for x. Vertex (1, 9) The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x=1The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x=1 x=1 (-2,0)(4,0) (1,9)

Changing from vertex or intercepts form to standard form The key is to use the distributive property The key is to use the distributive property Ex 4: y=-(x+4)(x-9)Ex 5: y=3(x-1) 2 +8 =-(x 2 -9x+4x-36) =3(x-1)(x-1)+8 =-(x 2 -5x-36) =3(x 2 -x-x+1)+8 y= -x 2 +5x+36 =3(x 2 -2x+1)+8 y= -x 2 +5x+36 =3(x 2 -2x+1)+8 =3x 2 -6x+3+8 =3x 2 -6x+3+8 y= 3x 2 -6x+11 y= 3x 2 -6x+11
