Name:_______________________________ Period:____ Chapter 4 Notes Packet on Quadratic Functions and Factoring Notes #15: Graphing quadratic equations in standard form, vertex form, and intercept form. A. Intro to Graphs of Quadratic Equations: A ____________________ is a function that can be written in the form where a, b, and c are real numbers and a0. Ex: The graph of a quadratic function is a U-shaped curve called a ________________. The maximum or minimum point is called the _____________ Identify the vertex of each graph; identify whether it is a minimum or a maximum. 1.) 2.) Vertex: ( , ) _________ Vertex: ( , ) _________ 3.) 4.) Vertex: ( , ) _________ Vertex: ( , ) _________ B. Key Features of a Parabola: Direction of Opening: When , the parabola opens ________: When , the parabola opens ________: Width: When , the parabola is _______________ than When , the parabola is the ________ width as When , the parabola is ________ than Vertex: The highest or lowest point of the parabola is called the vertex, which is on the axis of symmetry. To find the vertex, plug in and solve for y. This yields a point (____, ____) Axis of symmetry: This is a vertical line passing through the vertex. Its equation is: x-intercepts: are the 0, 1, or 2 points where the parabola crosses the x-axis. Plug in y = 0 and solve for x. y-intercept: is the point where the parabola crosses the y-axis. Plug in x = 0 and solve for y. Without graphing the quadratic functions, complete the requested information: 5.) What is the direction of opening? _______ Is the vertex a max or min? _______ Wider or narrower than y = x2 ? __________ 6.) What is the direction of opening? _______ Is the verte
