  3. Graphs of Quadratic Eqns • All quadratic functions have graphs similar to y = x2. Such curves are called parabolas. They are U-shaped and symmetric with respect to a vertical line known as the parabola’s line of symmetry or axis of symmetry. • For the graph of f(x) = x2, the y-axis is the axis of symmetry. The point (0, 0) is known as the vertex of this parabola.

  7. Graphing f(x) = ax2 • The graph of f(x) = ax2 is a parabola with • x = 0 as its axis of symmetry. • The Origin, (0,0) as its vertex. • For a > 0, the parabola opens upward. • For a < 0,the parabola opens downward. • If |a| is greater than 1; e.g., 4, the parabola is narrower (tighter) than y = x2. • If |a| is between 0 and 1 e.g., ¼ the parabola is wider (broader) than y = x2.

  8. The Graph of f(x) = a(x – h)2 • We could next consider graphs of f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where b and c are not both 0. • It turns out to be convenient to first graph f (x) = a(x – h)2, where h is some constant. • This allows us to observe similarities to the graphs drawn in previous slides.

  10. Graphing f(x) = a(x−h)2 • The graph of y = f(x) = a(x – h)2 has the same shape as the graph of y = ax2. • If h is positive, the graph of y = ax2 is shiftedh units to the right. • If h is negative, the graph of y = ax2 is shifted |h| units to the left. • The vertex is (h, 0) and the axis of symmetry is x = h.

  11. Graph of f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k • Given a graph of f(x) = a(x – h)2, what happens if we add a constant k? • Suppose we add k = 3. This increases f(x) by 3, so the curve moves up • If k is negative, the curve moves down. • The axis of symmetry for the parabola remains x = h, but the vertex will be at (h, k), or equivalently (h, f(h)) • f(h) = a([h] – h)2 + k = 0 + k → f(h) = k

  13. Quadratic Fcn in Standard Form • The Quadratic Function Written in STANDARD Form: • The graph of f is a parabola with vertex (h, k). The parabola is symmetric with respect to the line x = h, called the axis of the parabola. If a > 0, the parabola opens up, and if a < 0, the parabola opens down.

  14. Example  Find Quadratic Fcn • Find the standard form of the quadratic function whose graph has vertex (−3, 4) and passes through the point ( −4, 7). • SOLUTION: Let y = f(x) be the quadratic function. Then

  15. Graphing f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k • The graph is a parabola. Identify a, h, and k. • Determine how the parabola opens. • If a > 0, the parabola opens up. • If a < 0, the parabola opens down. • Find the vertex. The vertex is (h, k). • If a > 0 (or a < 0), the function f has a minimum (or a maximum) value k at x = h

  16. Graphing f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k • Find the x-intercepts. • Find the x-intercepts (if any) by setting f(x) = 0 and solving the equation a(x – h)2 + k = 0 for x. • If the solutions are real numbers, they are the x-intercepts. • If the solutions are NOT Real Numbers, the parabola either lies above the x–axis (when a > 0) or below the x–axis (when a < 0).

  17. Graphing f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k • Find the y-intercept • Find the y-intercept by replacing x with 0. Then y = f(0) = ah2 + k is the y-intercept. • Sketch the graph • Plot the points found in Steps 3-5 and join them by a parabola. • If desired, show the axis of symmetry, x = h, for the parabola by drawing a dashed vertical line

  18. Example  Graph • SOLUTION Step 1a = 2, h = 3, and k = –8 Step 2a = 2, a > 0, the parabola opens up. Step 3(h, k) = (3, –8); the function f has a minimum value –8at x = 3. Step 4 Set f (x) = 0 and solve for x.

  19. Example  Graph • SOLUTION cont. Step 5Replace x with 0. Step 6axis: x = 3, opens up, vertex: (3, –8), passes through (1, 0), (5, 0) and (0, 10), the graph is y = 2x2 shifted three units right and eight units down.

  20. Example  Graph • SOLUTION cont. • Sketch GraphUsing the 4 points • Vertex • Two x-Intercepts • One y-Intercept

  21. Completing the Square • By completing the square, we can rewrite any polynomial ax2 + bx + c in the form a(x – h)2 + k. • Once that has been done, the procedures just discussed enable us to graph any quadratic function.

  23. y 6 5 4 3 2 1 x -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4 5 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 Example  Graph • SOLUTION f(x) = –2x2 + 6x – 3 CompleteSquare = –2(x2 – 3x) – 3 = –2(x2 – 3x + 9/4 – 9/4) – 3 = –2(x2 – 3x + 9/4) – 3+ 18/4 = –2(x – 3/2)2 + 3/2 • The vertex is at (3/2, 3/2)

  24. The Vertex of a Parabola • By the Process of Completing-the-Square we arrive at a FORMULA for the vertex of a parabola given by f(x) = ax2 + bx + c: • The x-coordinate of the vertex is −b/(2a). • The axis of symmetry is x = −b/(2a). • The second coordinate of the vertex is most commonly found by computing f(−b/[2a])

  25. Graphing f(x) = ax2 + bx + c • The graph is a parabola. Identify a, b, and c • Determine how the parabola opens • If a > 0, the parabola opens up. • If a < 0, the parabola opens down • Find the vertex (h, k). Use the formula

  26. Graphing f(x) = ax2 + bx + c • Find the x-interceptsLet y = f(x) = 0. Find x by solving the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. • If the solutions are real numbers, they are the x-intercepts. • If not, the parabola either lies • above the x–axis when a > 0 • below the x–axis when a < 0

  27. Graphing f(x) = ax2 + bx + c • Find the y-intercept. Let x = 0. The result f(0) = c is the y-intercept. • The parabola is symmetric with respect to its axis, x = −b/(2a) • Use this symmetry to find additional points. • Draw a parabola through the points found in Steps 3-6.

  28. Example  Graph • SOLUTION Step 1a = –2, b = 8, and c = –5 Step 2a = –2, a < 0, the parabola opens down. Step 3 Find(h, k). Maximum value of y = 3 at x = 2

  29. Example  Graph • SOLUTION Step 4Let f (x) = 0. Step 5Let x = 0.

  30. Example  Graph • SOLUTION Step 6Axis of symmetry is x = 2. Let x = 1, then the point (1, 1) is on the graph, the symmetric image of (1, 1) with respect to the axis x = 2 is (3, 1). The symmetric image of the y–intercept (0, –5) with respect to the axis x = 2 is (4, –5). Step 7The parabola passing through the points found in Steps 3–6 is sketched on the next slide.

  32. Given the graph of f(x) = −2x2 +8x− 5 Find Domain & Range • Find the domain and range for f(x) • SOLUTION  Examine the Graph to find that the: • Domain is (−∞, ∞) • Range is (−∞, 3]

  33. WhiteBoard Work • Problems From §8.3 Exercise Set • 4, 16, 22, 30 • The Directrix of a Parabola • A line perpendicular to the axis of symmetry used in the definition of a parabola. A parabola is defined as follows: For a given point, called the focus, and a given line not through the focus, called the directrix, a parabola is the locus of points such that the distance to the focus equals the distance to the directrix.
