 What Is It

The graph of a quadratic function is called a parabola. It is the set of all points on
the Cartesian Coordinate Plane that satisfies the function defined by or
the vertex form f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k where (h, k) is the vertex.

Consider the graph of

The arrowheads of 𝑓 𝑥 𝑥 imply that the
graph extends indefinitely to the left and right. This
is because the domain of f is the set of all real
numbers ( ). In fact, unless it is restricted, the
domain of a quadratic function is always the set of
all real numbers.

The range depends on whether the parabola

opens upward or downward. If it opens upward, the
range is the set 𝑦: 𝑦 ≥ 𝑘 ; if it opens downward,
then the range is the set 𝑦: 𝑦 ≤ 𝑘 .

Example 1: Graph the function and determine its domain and range.
Solution:
Step 1: Determine the vertex (-2,-1) Step 6: Plot the points in the graph as shown
below..
Step 2: Construct a table of values and place the vertex
in the center.

y -1
Step 3: Assign the values of x before and after -2.
x -4 -3 -2 -1 0 (-4, 3) (0,3)
y -1
(-3, 0) (-1,0)
Step 4: Solve for y using the values of x.
If x = -4 y= (-2,-1)
y= 𝑥 y=4
y= 4 y=3
follow this procedure when the vales of x are -3, -1 and 0 Domain: ℝ (Set of all real numbers)
and complete the table of values. *Since 𝑘 , and the parabola opens upward

Step 5: Fill in the table with the computed values of y in Range: set 𝑦: 𝑦 ≥

 What is It

The x-intercept of a graph is the value of x at which the graph intersects the x-axis.
That is, if the graph passes through the point (a,0), then the graph has an x-intercept
of a. (In other words, the value/s of x when y=0).

The y-intercept of a graph is the value of y at which the graph intersects the y-axis.
Thus, if the graph passes through the point (0,b), then the graph has a y-
intercept of b. (In other words, the value of y when x=0).

Example 1: Consider the graph of the quadratic function f, given by

.
Determine its x and y-intercepts.

Since the graph intersects the x-axis at

(-3, 0) and (-1, 0), thus:

x-intercepts: -1 and -3

Since the graph intersects the y-axis at

(0, 3), thus:

y-intercept: 3

Example 2: Consider the graph of the quadratic function g, given by .

Determine its x and y-intercepts.

Since the graph intersects the x-axis at

(-1, 0) and (1, 0), thus:

x-intercepts: -1 and 1

Since the graph intersects the y-axis at

(0, 1), thus:

y-intercept: 1

 What is It

You have noticed that the parabola opens upward or downward. It has a turning point
called vertex which is either the lowest point or the highest point of the graph. If the value of
a > 0, the parabola opens upward and has a minimum point. If a < 0, the parabola opens
downward and has a maximum point. There is a line called the axis of symmetry which
divides the graph into two parts such that one-half of the graph is a reflection of the other
half. If the quadratic function is expressed in the form y = a(x – h)2 + k, the vertex is the point
(h, k). The line x = h is the axis of symmetry and k is the minimum or maximum value of the
function.

Example 1: Consider the graph of the quadratic function f, given by

Determine the direction of the opening of the parabola, its vertex and axis of symmetry and
the minimum or maximum value.

In Summary

The graph of the quadratic function is called parabola. The

parabola opens upward when a is positive otherwise it opens downward.

The vertex is the highest or lowest point of the parabola. The axis of symmetry is
an imaginary line passing through the vertex, which divides the parabola into two identical
parts.

The x-intercept of a graph is the value of x at which the graph intersects the x-axis.
That is, if the graph passes through the point (a,0), then the graph has an x-intercept of a.
(In other words, the value/s of x when y=0).

The y-intercept of a graph is the value of y at which the graph intersects the y-axis.
Thus, if the graph passes through the point (0,b), then the graph has a y-intercept of b. (In
other words, the value of y when x=0).

If the graph passes through the origin, we can see that the graph has an x-intercept
of 0 and a y-intercept of 0.

The domain of a quadratic function is the set of all real numbers. The range
depends on whether the parabola opens upward or downward. If it opens upward, the range
is the set {y : y ≥ k}; if it opens downward, then the range is the set {y : y ≤ k}.

The minimum value is the y coordinate of the vertex of the parabola when it opens
upward or when a > 0.

The maximum value is the y coordinate of the vertex of the parabola when it
opens downward or when a < 0.
