Quadratic Function A function that can be written in the form , where is a quadratic function. The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. opens up Concave Up x-intercept y-intercept vertex
Quadratic Function - Concavity If a > 0, concave up If a < 0, concave down Matching
Quadratic Function – y-intercept y-intercept: (0, c) Matching
Quadratic Function – x-intercepts Can’t be factored using real numbers
Quadratic Function – x-intercepts The x-intercepts of are the REAL solutions to the quadratic equation. Two Real Solutions No Real Solutions One Real Solution
Finding the Vertex – Standard Form The vertex of the parabola is an ordered pair, (h, k). It can be found by finding the x value first: Once you have found the x value, substitute that value in to the function and simplify to find the y value.
