Lesson 3 - Quadratic Functions

This document provides information about quadratic functions including: 1) A quadratic function is a polynomial function of the second degree in the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0. 2) The graph of a quadratic function is called a parabola with a vertex that indicates the lowest or highest point. 3) Quadratic functions can be recognized by their standard or vertex form equations, a table of values with a consistent second difference, or a parabolic graph.

Determine if the given function is a
quadratic function or not.

a. f(x) = x – x + 3
2

b. g(x) = 2x (3x + 2)
c. h(x) = 2x (x – 1) 2
a. f(x) = x2 – x + 3
Since, a = 1 ≠ 0 and f(x) is of the second degree, then, it is a
quadratic function.

b. g(x) = 2x (3x + 2) distributive property


= 6x2 + 4x
Since, a = 6 ≠ 0 and g(x) is of the second degree, then, it is a
quadratic function.
c. h(x) = 2x (x – 1)2 expand
= 2x (x2 – 2x + 1)
= 2x3 – 4x2 + 2x

The function h(x) is of the third degree. Hence, h(x) is not a


quadratic function.
 
Activity: Identify whether QF or not.
VERTEX FORM OF QUADRATIC FUNCTION

f(x) = a(x - h) + k 2

The vertex is (h, k)


 ,
Vertex Form f(x) = a(x - h) + k

Give the value of a, h, and k

a.   a = -1, h = 3, k = 9

b. g a = -3, h = -1, k = -4
Transform each quadratic
function into vertex form. Then,
give the value of h and k.
 
a. f(x) =
b. g(x) =
 
Note: In finding (h, k) if its in
standard form, use the
