9.1 Graphing Quadratic Equations Objective: Analyze the characteristics of graphs of quadratic functions Graph quadratic functions
Quadratic Function • A nonlinear function • Form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c • The form above is called standard form
Parabola • The shape of a quadratic function. • Form: ax2 + bx + c
Axis of Symmetry • Intersects the parabola at only one point. • A line that cuts the parabola in half. • Formula: Find equation
Vertex • The point where the axis of symmetry intersects a parabola
Minimum = Smile • The lowest point on the graph • If a > 0, the graph of y= ax2 + bx + c, opens upward • If a > 0 the parabola has a minimum
Maximum = Frown • The highest point on the graph • If a < 0 the graph of y= ax2 + bx + c, open downward • If a < 0, the parabola has a maximum
Identify The Maximum or Minimum • Determine If a < 0 Maximum, If a > 0 Minimum • Find the vertex of your equation. • The y- coordinate is your Maximum or Minimum value
