The graph of the quadratic function y=ax2 + bx + c

1. The opening of the graph may be downward or upward. In general, use
the leading coefficient to determine if the parabola opens upward or
downward. If the leading coefficient is negative, then the parabola opens
downward. If the leading coefficient is positive, then the parabola opens
upward.
2. Parabolas also have an axis of symmetry, which is parallel to the y-
axis. The axis of symmetry is a vertical line drawn through the vertex. It
divides the graph into two parts such that one half of the graph is a
reflection of the other half.
3. In a quadratic function that is expressed in the form y=a(x – x) 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. The domain of the
quadratic function is the set of all real numbers. The range depends
whether the parabola opens upward or downward. If it opens up, the
range is the set {y:y≥k}; if it opens downward, then the range is the set
{y:y≤k}.

1. The opening of the graph may be downward or upward. In general, use
the leading coefficient to determine if the parabola opens upward or
downward. If the leading coefficient is negative, then the parabola opens
downward. If the leading coefficient is positive, then the parabola opens
upward.

axis. The axis of symmetry is a vertical line drawn through the vertex. It

the other.

D. ASSIMILATION
A.
1. The equation is quadratic if it an equation of the second degree,
meaning it contains at least one term that is squared. The standard form
is ax² + bx + c = 0 with a, b, and c being constants, or
numerical coefficients, and x is an unknown variable. One absolute rule is
that the first constant "a" cannot be a zero. The graph of a quadratic
function is a parabola whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis.

2. A quadratic equation is an equation of the second degree, meaning it

contains at least one term that is squared. The standard form is ax² + bx
+ c = 0 with a, b, and c being constants, or numerical coefficients, and x
is an unknown variable. A quadratic function in the form f(x)=ax2+bx+x is
in standard form.

B.
1. A linear equation in two variables doesn't involve any power higher
than one for either variable. It has the general form Ax + By + C = 0,
where A, B and C are constants. It's possible to simplify this
to y = mx + b, where m = (−A / B) and b is the value of y when x = 0. A
quadratic equation, on the other hand, involves one of the variables
raised to the second power. It has the general form y = ax2 + bx + c.
Apart from the adding complexity of solving a quadratic equation
compared to a linear one, the two equations produce different types of
graphs. A linear equation produces a straight line when you graph it.
Each value of x produces one and only one value of y, so the
relationship between them is said to be one-to-one. When you graph a
quadratic equation, you produce a parabola that begins at a single
point, called the vertex, and extends upward or downward in
the y direction. The relationship between x and y is not one-to-one
because for any given value of y except the y-value of the vertex point,
there are two values for x.
2. A quadratic equation is an equation of the form ax2+bx+c=0,
where a≠0. The form ax2+bx+c=0 is called the standard form of the
quadratic equation. If you want to convert a quadratic in vertex form to
one in standard form, simply multiply out the square and combine like
terms.

C. I know
I know that the equation is quadratic if it an equation of the second
degree, meaning it contains at least one term that is squared. The
standard form is ax² + bx + c = 0 with a, b, and c being constants, or
numerical coefficients, and x is an unknown variable.
First, I know that the opening of the graph may be downward or upward.
In general, use the leading coefficient to determine if the parabola opens
upward or downward. If the leading coefficient is negative, then the
parabola opens downward. If the leading coefficient is positive, then the
parabola opens upward.
In addition, I know that parabolas also have an axis of symmetry, which is
parallel to the y-axis. The axis of symmetry is a vertical line drawn
through the vertex. It divides the graph into two parts such that one half
of the graph is a reflection of the other half.
Finally, I know that in a quadratic function that is expressed in the form
y=a(x – x)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. The
domain of the quadratic function is the set of all real numbers. The range
depends whether the parabola opens upward or downward. If it opens up,
the range is the set {y:y≥k}; if it opens downward, then the range is the
set {y:y≤k}.

D. Reflection
I understand that the graph of a quadratic function is a parabola
whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis. The coefficients a, b
and c in the equation y=ax2+bx+c control various facets of what the
parabola looks like when graphed. The vertex is the maximum or
minimum of a quadratic function. The shape formed by the graph of a
quadratic function is a parabola.
I realized that a quadratic function is different from a linear function
in many ways. A linear equation in two variables doesn't involve any
power higher than one for either variable. It has the general
form Ax + By + C = 0, while a quadratic equation involves one of the
variables raised to the second power. It has the general form of
y = ax2 + bx + c. Apart from the adding complexity of solving a
quadratic equation compared to a linear one, the two equations produce
different types of graphs. A linear equation produces a straight line
when graphed while a quadratic equation produces a parabola that
begins at a single point, called the vertex, and extends upward or
downward in the y direction.
