Learning Competencies
The learner will be able to:
1. Model real-life situations using quadratic functions;
2. Represent a quadratic function using: (a) table of
values, (b) graph, and (c) equations; and
3. Transform a quadratic function defined by into the

Recognizing Quadratic Functions
Quadrati trinomial
Factoring the PST and combining the constant terms
Function
s
This form of the quadratic
function is called the vertex form.
Examples
Quiz Time
If a relation is expressed as a set of ordered
pairs or as a table of values, one can
identify whether the relation is a quadratic
function or not. In this case, a method
called second difference test is used.
Second Difference
A relation Test
is a quadratic function if equal
differences in the independent variable produce
nonzero equal second differences in the
function value .
Observe how the Second Difference Test is
applied in the next illustrative examples.
Examples: Determine whether each relation
is a quadratic function or not.
