Quadratic Functions
⫸ A quadratic function is a function in the form:

⫸ Where , and are constants


⫸ A quadratic function is monic if
⫸ E.g:

Zeros and Roots


⫸ The solutions of a quadratic equation () are called roots
⫸ The -intercepts of a quadratic function () are called zeros
⫸ When talking about quadratics we use the words roots, zeros and -
intercepts interchangeably
Concavity and turning points
For the parabola:
⫸
Concave up Concave down
If the coefficient , the parabola is concave up
⫸ If the coefficient , the parabola is concave down

The turning point


⫸ Also known as the vertex or stationary point
⫸ Since a parabola is symmetrical, the turning point
is always halfway between the intercepts (roots)
Example 1. Sketch
Showing intercepts and find the domain and range
Example 2. Sketch
Showing intercepts and vertex and find the domain
and range
Axis of symmetry
⫸ The axis of symmetry of the parabola is the vertical line
with the equation:

The turning point


⫸ Depending on the concavity of the parabola the vertex is
the minimum or maximum value of the parabola

⫸ The turning point has the coordinates:


(−
𝒃
𝟐𝒂 (
,𝒇 −
𝒃
𝟐𝒂 ))
Example 3.
a.) Find the axis of symmetry and the minimum value of the quadratic
function

b.) Find the coordinates of the vertex of the quadratic function . State the
domain and range of the function.
