Part 1
DEFINITIONS
A parabola is the graph of a quadratic function. A parabola is a “U” shaped graph
The parent Quadratic Function is
Vertex at (0, 0)Axis of Symmetry at
DEFINITIONS
The vertex form of a quadratic function makes it easy to identify the transformations
The axis of symmetry is a line that divides the parabola into two mirror images (x = h)
The vertex of the parabola is (h, k) and it represents the intersection of the parabola and the axis of symmetry.
REFLECTION, STRETCH, AND COMPRESSION
The determines the “width” of the parabola If the the graph is vertically stretched (makes
the “U” narrow) If the graph is vertically compressed
(makes the “U” wide) If a is negative, the graph is reflected over the
x – axis
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM VALUES
The minimum value of a function is the least y – value of the function; it is the y – coordinate of the lowest point on the graph.
The maximum value of a function is the greatest y – value of the function; it is the y – coordinate of the highest point on the graph.
For quadratic functions the minimum or maximum point is always the vertex, thus the minimum or maximum value is always the y – coordinate of the vertex
TRANSFORMATIONS – USING VERTEX FORM
The vertex form makes identifying transformations easy
a gives you information about stretch, compression, and reflection over the x – axis
h gives you information about the horizontal shift k gives you information about the vertical shift
The vertex is at (h, k) The axis of symmetry is at x = h Domain: All Real Numbers Range: (Minimum value, )
(, Maximum value)

TRANSFORMATIONS – USING VERTEX FORM
Graphing Quadratic Functions:1. Identify and Plot the vertex and axis of
symmetry 2. Set up a Table of Values. Choose x – values
to the right and left of the vertex and find the corresponding y – values
Note: a is NOT slope3. Plot the points and sketch the parabola

TRANSFORMATIONS – USING VERTEX FORM
Writing the equations of Quadratic Functions:1. Identify the vertex (h, k)2. Choose another point on the graph (x, y)3. Plug h, k, x, and y into
and solve for a 4. Use h, k, and a to write the vertex form of
the quadratic function
