Quadratic Curves. A quadratic curve can be expressed in this form:. General Form. General Form. y. x. −1. 0. y. x. 0. 1. General Form. Look at the x-intercept to determine whether shift left or right!. y. x. How to find x-intercepts and y-intercept?. 1 and 4 are the values of the

y x −1 0 y x 0 1 General Form
Look at the x-intercept to determine whether shift left or right!
y x How to find x-intercepts and y-intercept? 1 and 4 are the values of the x-intercepts. In other words, the x-intercepts have coordinates (1, 0) and (4, 0) y-intercept = 4 (value of c) Line of Symmetry: x = 2.5
Maximum Turning Point Minimum Turning Point Turning points
y x −1 4 Find the coordinate of the turning point y-coordinate: (?, ?) x-coordinate: Turning Point is (1.5, −6.25) Does the value of a affect the turning point of the curve? No. a only affects 2 things – shape and width
y x 0 1 −2 −1 2 Find the equation of the following curves:
y Remember that c represents the y-intercept: x 0 −2 −1 Dotted Curve: Notice that the y-intercept of the Blue Curve is 0. How would you change the equation so that the y-intercept is 0?
y x 0 1 2 Dotted Curve: Again, the y-intercept is 0
One more example…find this equation y x −2 0 −7
