5 – minute check Transform the following quadratic functions into vertex form.
What if? What if we wanted to see how each function looks like, what are we going to do?
Graphing quadratic functions AGILA
Learning objectives Determine the maximum/minimum point, axis of symmetry and direction of the opening of the graph of the given quadratic function; Graph a quadratic function(M9AL-Ig-h-i-1); and Display accuracy and neatness in sketching graphs.
Steps in graphing quadratic function 1 Find the vertex and the line of symmetry by expressing the function in the form y = a(x-h) 2 +k or by using the formula .
vertex Turning point of the parabola Given by the coordinate Minimum point if , parabola is opening upward Maximum point if , parabola is opening downward is the minimum or maximum value of the function
Axis of symmetry A line that divides the graph into two parts such that one-half of the graph is a reflection of the other half The line is the axis of symmetry
Vertex =
Steps in graphing quadratic function 2 On one side of the line of symmetry, choose at least one value of and compute the value of
i f
Steps in graphing quadratic function 3 Similarly, choose at least one value of on the other side and compute the value of
i f 4 Plot the points and connect them by a smooth curve
