Transform ation of Graphs of
Quadratic Functions
 The
Parabola and its
Properties
The vertex of the parabola

- the maximum and minimum point of the parabola.

- it divides the parabola into two equal parts.
- turning point of the parabola, where the graph stops
and starts to increase and decrease.

The axis of symmetry

– a vertical line passing through the vertex and divides the

parabola into two congruent halves, where one part of the
parabola is the reflection of the other part.
 Concavity of the Parabola

- refers to the direction of its opening which may either be

opening upward or downward.
- when a parabola opens upward, the vertex becomes a
minimum point and a maximum if otherwise.

The Domain and Range of the

Quadratic Function

- the domain of a quadratic function refers to the set of all

x-values, and the range is the set of all y-values that the
graph may extend to.
- the domain is a set of all real numbers, and the range
depends on the opening of the parabola and the value of k.

The Intercepts of

the Parabola
- the intercepts are points on the coordinate axes that the
parabola passes through.
- the x-intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis,
and the y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-
axis.
- the y-intercept is calculated by letting x=0 and the x-
intercept are determined by setting y=0.

Sketching the Graphs

of the Parabola

- the graph of a quadratic function, called a parabola, may

be sketched using its important properties such as the vertex,
axis of symmetry, concavity, axes of intercepts, and domain
and range.
- a table of values may be generated to obtain a more
accurate shape of the graph.

Translations of the Graphs of Quadratic

Functions
- the movements of a parabola
- for quadratic functions that written in vertex form, the
values of h and k control the translations of the parabola
from the graph of y=𝒂𝒙𝟐 .

Reflection of the Graphs of the

Quadratic Functions

- the graph of the quadratic function may be reflected

over the x-axis or the y-axis
- the graph of y=f(x) and -y=f(x), where f is a quadratic
function in any form, are reflections of each other over
the x-axis. On the other hand, the graph of y=f(x) and
y=f(-x) are reflections of each other over the y-axis.
