Quadratic Functions parabola The graph of a quadratic function is a: A parabola can

Quadratic Functions parabola The graph of a quadratic function is a: A parabola can open up or down. y Vertex If the parabola opens up, the lowest point is called the vertex (minimum). If the parabola opens down, the vertex is the highest point (maximum). Vertex NOTE: if the parabola opens left or right it is not a function! x

Standard Form The standard form of a quadratic function is: y = ax 2

Standard Form The standard form of a quadratic function is: y = ax 2 + bx + c y The parabola will open up when the a value is positive. a>0 The parabola will open down when the a value is negative. x a<0

Axis of Symmetry Parabolas are symmetric. If we drew a line down the middle

Axis of Symmetry Parabolas are symmetric. If we drew a line down the middle of the parabola, we could fold the parabola in half. Axisy of Symmetry We call this line the Axis of symmetry. x If we graph one side of the parabola, we could REFLECT it over the Axis of symmetry to graph the other side. The Axis of symmetry ALWAYS passes through the vertex.
