3) Find a function that matches your graph in the form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑝)(𝑥 − 𝑞), where 𝑝 and 𝑞
are the x-intercepts.

4) How long is the projectile in the air?

5) What is the maximum height that the projectile reaches, and how long does it need to

Terminology
 The graph of a quadratic function 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐, 𝑎 ≠ 0 is called a parabola.
 The point where the graph “turns” is called the
vertex.
 If the graph opens upwards, the y-coordinate of
the vertex is the minimum or minimum turning
point and the graph is concave upwards.
 If the graph opens downwards, the y-coordinate
of the vertex is the maximum or maximum
turning point and graph is concave
downwards.
 The vertical line passes through the vertex is
called axis of symmetry. Every parabola is
symmetrical about its axis of symmetry.
 The point where the graph crosses the y-axis is
the y-intercept.
 The point (if they exist) where the graph crosses the x-axis are called the x-intercepts.
They corresspond to the roots of the equation 𝑦 = 0

NOTE: For a quadratic in the form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐, the axis of the symmetry is 𝑥 = − ,

hence the vertex is ( ,𝑓 )

NOTE: A quadratic function can be expressed in different forms. In all forms, all parameters are
real numbers and 𝑎 ≠ 0
Standard form: 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐
Vertex form: 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ) + 𝑘, where (ℎ, 𝑘) is the vertex.
Intercept form: 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑝)(𝑥 − 𝑞), where 𝑝 and 𝑞 are the x-intercepts, or zeros of the
function.

6
Investigation 4 (Oxford Page 82)
1) Create quadratics of the form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ) + 𝑘 and graph them.

2) Describe the effect that the parameters ℎ and 𝑘 have on the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥

3) Graph various quadratic function in any of the three forms, changing the values and
signs of the leading coefficient 𝑎.

4) Deduce the sign of a for the parabola to be:

i) Concave up
ii) Concave down

7
 5) What happens to the function when 𝑎 = 0 ?

6) How do the vertex (ℎ, 𝑘) and the leading coefficient 𝑎 help you determine the range of
the function?

7) What features of a graph of a functiın do the parameters represent?

Pg. 83 Ex:1) State the concavity of the function 𝑦 = −2𝑥 + 4𝑥 + 1 and find the:
a) Equation of the axis symmetry
b) Vertex
c) Domain and range
d) Vertex form of the quadratics function.

Pg. 83 Ex:2) A calculator company’s profits in euros are modelled by the function.

Sketching the graph of a quadratic function

Two methods for sketching the graph of 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐, 𝑎 ≠ 0 are;

Method 1: The intercept method
i.e., expressing 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐, 𝑎 ≠ 0 in the form 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑝)(𝑥 − 𝑞)
This involves
Step 1: Finding the x-intercepts [by solving 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0]
Step 2: Finding the y-intercept [finding 𝑓(0)]
Step 3: Sketch parabola passing through the three points

Method 2: The turning-point form

i.e., expressing 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐, 𝑎 ≠ 0 in the form 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ) + 𝑘
This involves
Step 1: Expressing 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐, 𝑎 ≠ 0 in the form 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ) + 𝑘 [by completing
the square]
Step 2: Use the turning point (ℎ, 𝑘)
Step 3: Finding the y-intercept [finding (0) ]
Step 4: Sketch the parabola passing through the two points.

9
Ex:3) Sketch the graph of
a) 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 6𝑥 + 8
b) 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 12𝑥 + 4 using
i) the intercept method
ii) the turning point method

Ex:4) Use the vertex, axis of the symmetry, and y-intercept to the graph 𝑦 = −2(𝑥 + 1) + 4

Finding the equation from a graph

Information Provided Process

Graph cuts the x-axis at two points:

Use the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑘(𝑥 − 𝛼)(𝑥 − 𝛽) and

then use the point (0, 𝑐) to solve for 𝑘.

Graph touches the x-axis at 𝒙 = 𝜶:

Use the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑘(𝑥 − 𝛼) and then

use the point (0, 𝑐) to solve for 𝑘.

Graph does not meets the x-axis: Use the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑘(𝑥 − 𝛼) + 𝛽 and
then use the point (0, 𝑐) to solve for 𝑘.

Three arbitrary points are given: Use the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 and
then set up and solve the system of
simultaneous equations by substituting each
coordinate into function:

𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 𝑦

𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 𝑦

𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 𝑦

 TRANSFORMATIONS OF GRAPHS

In this section we will discuss how the graph of a function mat be transformed either by shifting,
stretching or compressing, or reflection. In this section let c be a positive real number.

1. TRANSLATIONS

1.1 VERTICAL TRANSLATION

A shift may be referred to as a vertical translation.

If c is added to the function, where the function becomes y  f ( x)  c , then the graph of f ( x)
will vertically shift upward by c units.

If c is subtracted from the function, where the function becomes y  f ( x)  c , then the graph of
f ( x) will vertically shift downwards by c units.

In general, a vertical translation means that every point ( x, y) on the graph of f ( x) is

transformed to ( x, y  c) or ( x, y  c) on the graph of y  f ( x)  c or y  f ( x)  c respectively.

Ex:6) Using translation on the graph of f  x   x , sketch the graph of the following.
2

a) f  x   3 b) f  x   3

19
 1.2 HORIZONTAL TRANSLATION

If c is added to the variable of the function, where the function becomes y  f ( x  c) , then the
graph of f ( x) will horizontally shift to the left c units.

If c is subtracted from the variable of the function, where the function becomes y  f ( x  c) ,
then the graph of f ( x) will horizontally shift to the right c units.

In general, a horizontal translation means that every point ( x, y) on the graph of f ( x) is

transformed to ( x  c, y) or ( x  c, y) on the graph of y  f ( x  c) or y  f ( x  c) respectively.

Ex:7) Using translation on the graph of f  x   x , sketch the graph of the following.
2

a) f  x  3 b) f  x  1

20
Ex:8)

n
Translations can be represented in the form of   where n is the
r 
horizontal component and r is the vertical component.

2. REFLECTIONS

21
Ex:9) Given the graph of y  f  x  , sketch the graphs of the followings.

a) y  f  x b) y   f  x 

3. STRETCHES (SHRINK OR COMPRESSES)

3.1. Vertical Stretch (Shrink or compress)

If c is multiplied to the function, then the graph of the function will undergo a vertical stretching or
compression.

So, when the function becomes

 y  c f  x  and 0  c  1, a vertical shrinking of the graph of y  f  x  will occur.

Graphically, a vertical shrinking pulls the graph of y  f  x  toward the x-axis.

 When c  1 in the function y  c f  x  , a vertical streching of the graph of y  f  x  will

occur.

A vertical streching pushes the graph of y  f  x  away from the x-axis.

In general, a vertical streching or shrinking means that every point ( x, y ) on the graph of f  x 
is transformed to ( x, cy ) on the graph of y  c f  x  .

22
If f  x  is the parent function, then c f  x  stretches f  x  vertically with scale factor of “ c ”.

Ex:10) Given the graph of y  f  x  , sketch the graphs of the followings.

1
a) 2 f  x  b) f  x
3

3.2. Horizontal Stretch (Shrink or compress)

If c is multiplied to the variable of the function, then the graph of the function will undergo a
horizontal stretching or compression.

So, when the function becomes.

 y  f  cx  and 0  c  1, a horizontal stretching of the graph of y  f  x  will occur.

Graphically, a horizontal stretching pulls the graph of y  f  x  away from the y-axis.

 When c  1 in the function y  f  cx  , a horizontal shrinking of the graph of y  f  x  will

occur.

23
A horizontal shrinking pushes the graph of y  f  x  toward the y-axis.

In general, a horizontal streching or shrinking means that every point ( x, y ) on the graph of
x
f  x  is transformed to ( , y ) on the graph of y  f  cx  .
c

If f  x  is the parent function, then f  c x  represents a horizontal stretch of f  x  with scale

1
factor of “ ”.
c

Ex:11) Given the graph of y  f  x  , sketch the graph of f  2 x 

24
 Steps for Multiple Transformations

Use the following order to graph a function involving more than on transformation:

1. Stretching or shrinking
2. Reflecting
3. Horizontal Translation

ABSOLUTE VALUE REVISION PRACTISE PAPER- 9PREIB
Absolute Value Functions and Equations:
For any real number 𝑎, its absolute value, denoted by vertical bars, is defined as
a ,a  0
a 
a ,a  0
The absolute value of a real number is non-negative.

● Geometrically, the absolute values are distance between the point representing a
number on the real line, and the origin of the real number line. More generally, the
absolute value of the difference of two real numbers is the distance between the points
that represent them on the real line.
● Another term for absolute value is the modules of a number. It comes from the French
word module, which means unit of measure and has been used by mathematicians
since the early 1800s. Karl Weirstrass first used the vertical bar notation in 1841.

NOTE: From the definition of absolute value and its geometrical reasoning, these useful
fundamental properties follow, for 𝑎, any real number:
1) |𝑎| ≥ 0
2) |−𝑎| = |𝑎|
3) |𝑎| = 0 ⟺ 𝑎 = 0
4) |𝑎 − 𝑏| = 0 ⟺ 𝑎 = 𝑏
| |
5) |𝑎𝑏| = |𝑎| |𝑏| and =| |
,𝑏 ≠ 0

6) |𝑎 + 𝑏| ≤ |𝑎| + |𝑏|
7) |𝑎 − 𝑏| ≥ |𝑎| − |𝑏|
8) |𝑎| ≤ 𝑏 ⟺ −𝑏 ≤ 𝑎 ≤ 𝑏 ; |𝑎| ≥ 𝑏 ⟺ 𝑎 ≤ −𝑏 𝑜𝑟 𝑎 ≥ 𝑏

The definition of an absolute-value function follows from the definition of absolute value of a
number. The absolute-value function is a piece-wise function, meaning that it has different
definitions within disjoint subsets of its domain.

f(x)  x  

Graphically, compare the graphs of 𝑦 = 𝑥 and 𝑦 = |𝑥|

 The domain of the absolute value function is the set of real
numbers, and its range is the set of non-negative real
numbers.
