Quadratic Functions:
Definition of Quadratic Function:

Let , and be real numbers with 0. The function
( )
is called a quadratic function.
a b c a
f x ax bx c
The graph of a quadratic function is a special type of “U”-shaped curve that is called a parabola. (U shaped)
All parabolas are symmetric with respect to a line called theaxis of symmetry, or simply the axis of the parabola.
The point where the axis intersects the parabola is the vertex of theparabola.

The highest or lowest point on the parabola is called the vertex.

The axis of symmetry for
the parabola is the vertical
line through the vertex.

EXAMPLES:
Sketch the graph of the quadratic function without using a graphingutility. Identify the vertex and x-intercepts.
You know the graph will go up b/ca is a positive number

Example
Solution:Step 1 Determine how the parabola opens. Note that
a, the coefficient of x 2, is -1. Thus, a 0; this negative
value tells us that the parabola opens downward.
Step 2 Find the vertex. We know the x-coordinate of the vertex is –b/2a.
We identify a, b, and c to substitute the values into the equation for the x-coordinate:
x = -b/(2a) = -6/2(-1) = 3.
The x-coordinate of the vertex is 3. We substitute 3 for x in the equation of the function to find the y-coordinate:
the parabola has its vertex at (3,7).

Minimum and Maximum: Quadratic
Functions• Consider f(x) = ax2 + bx +c.1. If a > 0, then f has a minimum that
occurs at x = -b/(2a). This minimum value is f(-b/(2a)).
2. If a < 0, the f has a maximum that occurs at x = -b/(2a). This maximum value is f(-b/(2a)).

Strategy for Solving Problems Involving Maximizing or
Minimizing Quadratic Functions1. Read the problem carefully and decide which
quantity is to be maximized or minimized.2. Use the conditions of the problem to express the
quantity as a function in one variable.3. Rewrite the function in the form f(x) = ax2 + bx +c.4. Calculate -b/(2a). If a > 0, then f has a minimum
that occurs at x = -b/(2a). This minimum value is f(-b/(2a)). If a < 0, the f has a maximum that occurs at x = -b/(2a). This maximum value is f(-b/(2a)).
