Properties of Quadratics Sec. 12.3
Objectives • I can identify direction of a parabola via equation or graph. • I can find the absolute minimum or maximum of a quadratic function. • I can find the vertex and axis of symmetry of a quadratic function. • I can identify the domain, range, increasing intervals, and decreasing intervals of a quadratic function. • I can find y-int and zeros of a quadratic function via graph.
Quadratic Function Investigation • Now we need to look a little closer at the quadratic graphs themselves. • With a new partner (someone you did not work with already), compare the graphs you have for the quadratic functions in Problem 3. • Make a list of characteristics you notice about these graphs. • Be ready to discuss in 3 minutes!
The Basics • Quadratic Function – a function which has the highest exponent of 2. • Standard Form of a Quadratic Function: , where . • Parabola – the graph created by a quadratic function.
Direction of Parabolas What can you generalize about direction considering the graphs and equations we have already looked at?
Absolute maximum/minimum • Direction also gives us an important piece of information about the graph. • What else do you notice about the shape of the graphs and direction?
Absolute Minimum/Maximum Absolute Maximum – the highest point on the parabola. Absolute Minimum – the lowest point on the parabola.
Vertex and Axis of Symmetry • The absolute minimum/maximum of a quadratic has another important role in the parabola – the vertex. • Vertex – the central point of a parabola. • Along with the vertex is the axis of symmetry. • Axis of Symmetry (AOS) – the vertical line that passes through the vertex that divides the parabola into 2 mirror images.
Vertex and AOS • Given the graph: • What is the vertex? • What is the AOS? • How could you use the formula to find these features?
Vertex and AOS • Axis of Symmetry: • Vertex - , where h is the AOS of the parabola. • To find the vertex, find the AOS then plug it into the function to find k. , where a and b come from the equation
Vertex and AOS Axis of Symmetry Vertex Does this quadratic have a minimum or a maximum? What is that value?
Try it out! Round 1 • For each function, find the vertex and axis of symmetry. Also, identify the absolute minimum or absolute maximum of each function. 2. 1. AOS: x = -3 Vertex: (-3, 5.5) Maximum: 5.5 AOS: x = -0.75 Vertex: (-0.75, -2.125) Minimum: -2.125
Try it out, part 2! • Identify the direction, AOS, vertex, and min/max value for each function. Direction: UP Direction: Down Direction: UP AOS: x = 2 AOS: x = 0 AOS: x = -1 Vertex: Vertex: Vertex: Minimum: -2 Minimum: 0 Maximum: 3
Intercepts • As with linear functions, x & y intercepts play a big role in the graph. • Your answer should be written as a point. • Y-Intercept – where the graph crosses the y-axis. • What the y-value is when x = 0. • Given a quadratic function, the y-intercept is the c in • X-Intercept – where the graph crosses the x-axis, • Also known as Zeros of a function. • What the x-value is when y = 0. • We will discuss methods of finding zeros in the next lesson.
X & Y Intercepts • Identify the y-intercept of the function. • Identify the x-intercept(s) of the function. • What do you notice? (0, -3) (-1,0) and (3, 0 )
Try it out! Round 1 • Identify the y-intercepts and zero from the graph. Y-intercept: (0, 2) X-intercepts: (1, 0) and (2, 0)
Try it out! Round 2. • Identify the y-intercepts for each function. Y-intercept: (0, -4) Y-intercept: (0,12) How could you find the zeros?
Domain and Range • Just like with linear functions, we need to look at the domain and range of a quadratic function. • What does it mean to look at the DOMAIN of a function? • What does it mean to look at the RANGE of a function? Domain = x-values of a function Range = y-values of a function
Domain and Range • Consider the linear function • What is it’s domain and range? Domain = All Real Numbers Range = All Real Numbers • Now look at • What‘s different? Domain = All Real Numbers Range =
Domain and Range • Now consider this Quadratic from earlier. • What is the domain? • What is the range? All Real Numbers
Quadratic Domain and Range • Domain – All Real Numbers • Range – depends on the direction of the graph as well as absolute max or min. • Absolute Max = • Absolute Min = • Where k is the y-value of the min/max.
Examples • For each function, identify the domain and range. 2. 1. Domain: Domain: All Real Numbers All Real Numbers -2.125 Range: Range: What do you need to know to identify the range? The vertex
Try it out! 2. • Identify the domain and range for each function. Domain: All Real Numbers Domain: All Real Numbers Range: Range: Domain: All Real Numbers Range:
Interval Notation • Another way of noting domain and range of a function is to use interval notation. • Intervals – set of real numbers between 2 given numbers. • When talking intervals, we use 2 different notations: • Parenthesis (): excludes the number enclosed in the set. • Bracket []: includes the number enclosed in the set. • If we do not have a bound (start or stop point), we use or . • Only use () with or .
Take a look back at • Domain: • Range: All Real Numbers Interval Notation: Interval Notation:
Take a look back at • We can use interval notation to analyze graphs’ domain, range, intervals of increasing, and intervals of decreasing. • Increasing: where the graph is going up. We refer to the interval using the x values. • Decreasing: where the graph is going down. We refer to the interval using the x values.
Take a look back at • Increasing: • Decreasing: 0]
Try it out: Identify the increasing and decreasing intervals for the function using interval notation. Increasing: 2. Decreasing: Increasing: Decreasing:
Try it out! • For each function, write the domain and range using interval notation. Then, identify the increasing and decreasing intervals using interval notation. 2. 1. Domain: Domain: Range: [ Range: Increasing: [ Increasing: Decreasing: (- Decreasing:
