Graphing the Quadratic Function Using Transformations图二次函数变换.pptVIP

The Graph of a Quadratic Function The graph of a quadratic function is called a Parabola The parabola opens up when a 0 The parabola opens down when a 0 When the parabola opens up the lowest point on the graph is called the Vertex When the parabola opens down the highest point on the graph is called the Vertex The Graph of a Quadratic Function (cont) The Vertex of a quadratic function is a pair (x, y) where the x coordinate is sometimes denoted by h and the y by k. The function f (x) = ax +bx + c can be written in the form f (x) = a (x + h) + k by completing the square
