Unit 1 Lesson 1: Quadratic Graphs and their Properties

A quadratic function is one of the form where a and b are ______________

and c is a ______________. This is called ____________ form.

Example

Lets graph

x y

-1

-2

-3

The ___________, also called the “turning point”, is (0, 0) and it is a Maximum/Minimum (Circle One)
The axis of symmetry is the line x=0. This particular quadratic is call the _________ function.
In the graphs below, label the different graphs.

Choices: Choices:

A _______ B_______C_______D________ A__________B_________C_________

Unit 1 Lesson 2: Quadratic Functions

We can also graph quadratic functions with an ​a​, ​b​ and ​c​ of the form:

The ____________is which is also the x-coordinate of the vertex (turning point).
To get the y-coordinate of the vertex, we substitute in the ___________ into the equation.

Example

1. Graph

First, graph the axis of symmetry.

Use the formula

2. A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 28 ft/s. Its height (​h)​ in feet after ​t ​seconds is given by
the function ​h​ = –16​t​2​ + 28​t​ + 7. How long does it take the ball to reach its maximum height? What is the ball’s
maximum height? Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.
