3.1 – Quadratic Functions in Vertex Form

Recall: Function – a relation between two variables, x and y, where for every

input value x, there is a single output value y.

Quadratic Function – a function that has a defining equation that can be written

as 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 or 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒂(𝒙 − 𝒑)𝟐 + 𝒒 where a, b, and c or p and q

are constants and a ≠ 0.

This is a polynomial with the degree being __________

The graph of a quadratic function is a _____________________, and

will open up or down

Domain – the set of all _______________ (valid inputs) represented by a

graph/equation of a relation or function

Range – the set of all _______________ (valid outputs) represented by a

graph/equation of a relation or function

Example. What is the domain and range for each graph?

Determine the Domain and Range For Each of the Following Quadratic Functions:

PROPERTIES OF A QUADRATIC FUNCTION:

VERTEX –

ex:

MAXIMUM/MINIMUM VALUE – the

highest/lowest point (y-value) of a function. For a

quadratic function, this is the y-coordinate of the

vertex.

AXIS OF SYMMETRY – a line through the vertex that

divides the graph of a quadratic function into two symmetrical

halves.

X – INTERCEPTS – the location(s) where a graph crosses the

x-axis. Also called the roots, zeros or solutions.

Vertex: ______________

Axis of Symmetry:

X-Intercepts:

Y- Intercept:

QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS IN VERTEX FORM:

Vertex Form: 𝒚 = 𝒂(𝒙 − 𝒑)𝟐 + 𝒒 or 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒂(𝒙 − 𝒑)𝟐 + 𝒒

Vertex form tells you the location of the vertex (p, q) the shape of the parabola

and the direction of the opening.

Example 1 – Changing the “a” Value

On your calculator graph the following equations:

𝒚 = 𝒙𝟐

𝒚 = 𝟐𝒙𝟐

𝒚 = 𝟓𝒙𝟐

𝒚 = 𝒙𝟐

𝒚 =𝟏

𝟐𝒙𝟐

𝒚 =𝟏

𝟓𝒙𝟐

𝒚 = 𝒙𝟐

𝒚 = −𝒙𝟐

𝒚 = 𝟐𝒙𝟐

𝒚 = −𝟐𝒙𝟐

NOTICE:

“a” determines the orientation and shape of the parabola

“a” does not change the vertex or the axis of symmetry

If 𝒂 > 𝟏 𝒐𝒓 𝒂 < −𝟏, the graph is narrower compared to the graph of 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐

If −𝟏 < 𝒂 < 𝟏, the parabola is wider compared to the graph of 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐

If 𝒂 > 𝟎 the graph opens UPWARD

If 𝒂 < 𝟎 the graph opens DOWNWARD

Unit 2: Quadratics Chapter 3 – Quadratic Functions

Example 2 – Changing the “p” Value

On your calculator graph the following equations:

𝒚 = (𝒙)𝟐

𝒚 = (𝒙 − 𝟐)𝟐

𝒚 = (𝒙 − 𝟒)𝟐

𝒚 = 𝒙𝟐

𝒚 = (𝒙 + 𝟑)𝟐

𝒚 = (𝒙 + 𝟔)𝟐

NOTICE:

“p” translates the graph horizontally p units (∴ changing the vertex and axis of

symmetry)

If 𝒑 > 0 (positive number), the graph is translated RIGHT

If 𝒑 < 0 (negative number), the graph is translated LEFT

ex: 𝒚 = (𝒙 − (−𝟒))𝟐 means 𝒚 = (𝒙 + 𝟒)𝟐 and translates ____________

Example 3 – Changing the “q” value

On your calculator graph the following equations:

𝒚 = 𝒙𝟐

𝒚 = 𝒙𝟐 + 𝟕

𝒚 = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟒

NOTICE:

“q” translates the graph vertically q units (∴ changing the vertex and the

max/min value of the graph)

If 𝒒 > 0 (positive number), the graph is translated UP

If 𝒒 < 0 (negative number), the graph is translated DOWN

Completing the Square is an algebraic process used to write a quadratic

polynomial in the form 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑝)2 + 𝑞. Completing the square involves adding a

value to and subtracting a value from a quadratic polynomial so that it contains a

perfect square trinomial. This trinomial can then be factored into the square of a

binomial!

STEPS FOR COMPLETING THE SQUARE:

1. Write the quadratic function in standard form.

2. Group the first two terms (and move the constant over to the right – out

of the way).

3. Factor out the leading coefficient from the first TWO terms (if

necessary). This is only necessary if a ≠ 1.

4. Add and subtract the square of half of the coefficient of the x-term. This

will create your perfect square trinomial.

5. Group the perfect square trinomial (by REMOVING the subtracted

number).

6. Rewrite the perfect square trinomial as the square of a binomial

(FACTOR)!

7. Simplify!!!

So far when solving problems, we have used graphing to determine the vertex and therefore, the

maximum or minimum value. Determining the max/min value by completing the square can be

faster and more efficient.

EXAMPLE 1:

Two numbers have a sum of 20. Does the sum of their squares have a maximum or minimum

value? Determine this value and the two numbers.
