Graphs of Quadratic Functions y = ax2 + bx + c If a is positive, then our parabola opens up. If a is negative, then our parabola opens down.
The Standard Parabola The Graph of the Quadratic Equation y = x2
Shifting the Standard Parabola Graphing y = x2 + 1 y = x2 + 1 shifts the standard parabola UP 1 Standard Parabola y = x2
Shifting the Standard Parabola Graphing y = x2 - 3 y = x2 - 3 shifts the standard parabola DOWN 3 Standard Parabola y = x2
! Shifting the Standard Parabola y = -x2 Flips the u-shape Standard Parabola y = x2
Shifting the Standard Parabola Graphing y = 2x2 y = 2x2 Narrows the u-shape Standard Parabola y = x2 !
Shifting the Standard Parabola Graphing y = 2x2 y = 2x2 Narrows the u-shape Standard Parabola y = x2
Shifting the Standard Parabola Graphing y = ½x2 Standard Parabola y = x2 y = ½x2 Widens the u-shape
Shifting the Standard Parabola y = ax2 + bx + c when b ≠ 0, changes the x-coordinate of the vertex Moving the vertex away from the origin
