  2. Topic 7.4.2 Drawing Graphs of Quadratic Functions California Standards: 21.0 Students graph quadratic functions and know that their roots are the x-intercepts. 22.0 Students usethe quadratic formula or factoring techniquesor both to determine whether the graph of a quadratic function will intersect the x-axis in zero, one, or two points. What it means for you: You’ll graph quadratic functions by finding their roots. • Key words: • quadratic • parabola • intercept • vertex • line of symmetry • root

  3. Topic 7.4.2 Drawing Graphs of Quadratic Functions In this Topic you’ll use methods for finding the intercepts and the vertex of a graph to draw graphs of quadratic functions.

  4. Topic 7.4.2 Drawing Graphs of Quadratic Functions Find the Roots of the Corresponding Equations In general, a good way to graph the function y = ax2 + bx + c is to find: (i) the x-intercepts (if there are any) — this involves solving a quadratic equation, (ii) the y-intercept — this involves setting x = 0, (iii) the vertex.

Solution (i) To find the x-intercepts of the graph of y = x2 – 3x + 2, you need to solve: x2 – 3x + 2 = 0 This quadratic factors to give: (x – 1)(x – 2) = 0 Using the zero property, x = 1 or x = 2. So the x-intercepts are (1, 0) and (2, 0). Solution continues… Solution follows…

Solution (continued) (ii) To find the y-intercept, put x = 0 into y = x2 – 3x + 2. This gives y = 2, so the y-intercept is at (0, 2). (iii) The x-coordinate of the vertexis always halfway between the x-intercepts. Solution continues…

Solution (continued) y = x2 – 3x + 2 The next function is the same as in the previous example, only multiplied by –2. The coefficient of x2 is negative this time, so the graph is concave down. Solution continues…

Solution (continued) y = x2 – 3x + 2 (i) To find the x-intercepts of the graph of y = –2x2 + 6x – 4, you need to solve: –2x2 + 6x – 4 = 0 This quadratic factors to give: –2(x – 1)(x – 2) = 0. Using the zero property,x = 1 or x = 2. This means the x-intercepts are at: (1, 0) and (2, 0). Solution continues…

Find the x–intercepts (if there are any). 2. Find the y–intercepts (if there are any). 3. Find the vertex. 4. Using the vertex, x-intercepts, and y-intercepts, graph the quadratic. Let y = 0 and factor: 0 = (x – 1)(x + 1) so x = 1 or x = –1. So, the x-intercepts are (1, 0) and (–1, 0). When x = 0, y = 0 – 1 = – 1. So, the y-intercept is (0, –1). x-coordinate: [1 + (–1)] ÷ 2 = 0.y-coordinate: y = 0 – 1 = –1. So, the vertex is at (0, –1). Solution follows…

Rearrange to form a standard quadratic:y = x2 – 2x – 3 Let y = 0 and factor: 0 = (x – 3)(x + 1) so x = 3 or x = –1. So, the x-intercepts are (3, 0) and (–1, 0). When x = 0, y = (0 – 1)2 – 4 = 1 – 4 = –3. So, the y-intercept is (0, –3). x-coordinate: [3 + (–1)] ÷ 2 = 1.y-coordinate: y = (1 – 1)2 – 4 = –4. So, the vertex is at (1, –4). Solution follows…

  21. Topic 7.4.2 Drawing Graphs of Quadratic Functions Round Up A quadratic function has the general form y = ax2 + bx + c (where a¹ 0). When you draw the graph of a quadratic, the value of a determines whether the parabola is concave up (u-shaped) or concave down (n-shaped), and how steep it is. Changing the value of c moves the graph in the direction of the y-axis. Note that if a = 0, the function becomes y = bx + c, which is a linear function whose graph is a straight line.
