 What’s In

Let us start this lesson by recalling ways of representing a

linear function. The knowledge and skills in doing this activity
will help you a lot in understanding the quadratic function. In
going over this lesson, you will be able to identify a quadratic
function and represent it in different ways.

Activity 1. Describe Me in Many Ways!

Perform this activity.

a. Observe the pattern and draw the 4th and 5th figures.

? ?

1 2 3 4 5

b. Use the table to illustrate the relation of the figure number to number of blocks.

Figure Number (x) 1 2 3 4 5

Number of blocks (y) 1 4 7

c. Write the pattern observed from the table. _____________________________

d. List the following:
Set of ordered pairs _______________________________
Domain ____________________ Range ____________________
e. What equation describes the pattern? ________________________________
f. Graph the relation using the Cartesian Plane.

5
 From the given activity, I hope that you remembered
what you have learned about linear functions. A linear
function is a function of degree 1 and its graph is a
straight line. In any function, the domain are all the
values of 𝑥 and the range are all the values of 𝑦.

What’s New

Now you are ready to learn about quadratic functions. A

Quadratic function is a function that can be written in the form
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐, where 𝑎, 𝑏, and 𝑐 are real numbers and
𝑎 ≠ 0. The highest exponent of the variable is 2, hence it is
called a second degree function. Note that the degree of a
function, determines the maximum number of zeros.

Activity 2. Identify Me!

State whether each of the following equation represents a quadratic function or not.
Justify your answer.

Equations Yes or No Justification

1. 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 2
2. 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 10
3. 𝑦 = 9 − 2𝑥 2
4. 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 2
5. 𝑦 = 3𝑥 2 + 𝑥 3 + 2

Activity 3. Compare Me!

Consider the given functions 𝑔(𝑥 ) = 3𝑥 + 1 and 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 3.

1. What kind of function is 𝑔(𝑥)? 𝑓(𝑥)?

2. Complete the following table of values using the indicated function.

𝑔(𝑥 ) = 3𝑥 + 1 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 3
x −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3 x −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3
y y

3. What is the difference between two adjacent x-values in each table, subtracting
from right to left?

4.Find the differences between each table, and write them on the blanks provided.
𝑔(𝑥 ) = 3𝑥 + 1 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 3
x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
y y

Note: Right minus left

5. What do you observe from the differences in the values of y in each function?

6. How can you recognize a quadratic function when the table of values is given?

7. Using the table of values, graph the two functions and compare the results.

𝑔(𝑥 ) = 3𝑥 + 1 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 3

8. Compare the graph of linear function and quadratic function.

 What is It
You have already learned in the previous activity that in a
quadratic function, equal differences in the independent
variable 𝑥, produces equal second differences in the
dependent variable 𝑦. The graph of a quadratic function is a
smooth curve which opens upward or downward called
parabola. This time you will learn how to transform a quadratic
function from the general form 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 to
vertex form 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒂(𝒙 − 𝒉)𝟐 + 𝒌 and vice versa.

TRANSFORMING FROM GENERAL FORM TO VERTEX FORM OF QUADRATIC

FUNCTION
Examples:
A. Transform each quadratic function in vertex form. Then give the value of h and k.
Example 1: 𝒇 (𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟔𝒙 + 𝟐
Method 1: By Completing the Square
Steps Task
1. Group the terms containing x. 𝑓(𝑥) = (𝑥 2 − 6𝑥) + 2
2. Factor out 𝑎. Here 𝑎 = 1 𝑓(𝑥) = (𝑥 2 − 6𝑥) + 2
3. Complete the expression in parenthesis to make it
−6 2
a perfect square trinomial by adding( 2 ) = 9 and 𝑓(𝑥) = (𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 9) + 2 − 9
subtracting the same value from the constant term.
4. Express the perfect square trinomial as the square
𝑓(𝑥) = (𝑥 − 3)2 − 7
of a binomial.
5. Give the value of ℎ. ℎ= 3
6. Give the value of 𝑘. 𝑘 = −7
Thus, the vertex form of 𝒇 (𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟔𝒙 + 𝟐 is 𝒇(𝒙) = (𝒙 − 𝟑)𝟐 − 𝟕.
−𝒃 𝟒𝒂𝒄−𝒃𝟐
Method 2: By applying the formula 𝒉 = and 𝒌 =
𝟐𝒂 𝟒𝒂

In the equation 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 2, 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = −6 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐 = 2

Substitute the values in the formula.

ℎ=
−𝑏 4𝑎𝑐 − 𝑏 2
2𝑎 𝑘=
−(−6) 4𝑎
ℎ= 4(1)(2) − (−6)2
2(1) 𝑘=
6 4𝑎
ℎ= 8 − 36
2 𝑘=
ℎ=3 4(1)
−28
𝑘=
4
𝑘= −7

8
 By substituting the solved values of ℎ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑘 in 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + 𝑘, we
obtain 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 1(𝑥 − 3)2 + (−7) or 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = (𝑥 − 3)2 − 7.

Example 2: 𝒚 = −𝟑𝒙𝟐 − 𝟐𝟒𝒙 + 𝟏𝟏

Method 1: By completing the square.

Steps Task
1. Group the terms containing 𝑥. 𝑦 = (−3𝑥 2 − 24𝑥) + 11

2. Factor out 𝑎. Here 𝑎 = −3 𝑦 = −3(𝑥 2 + 8𝑥) + 11

3. Complete the expression in
parenthesis to make it a perfect
8 2 𝑦 = −3(𝑥 2 + 8𝑥 + 16) + 11 − (−3)(16)
square trinomial by adding(2) = 16 𝑦 = −3(𝑥 2 + 8𝑥 + 16) + 11 + 48
and subtracting the same value from
the constant term.
4. Express the perfect square trinomial
𝑦 = −3(𝑥 + 4)2 + 59
as the square of a binomial.
5. Give the value of ℎ. ℎ = −4
6. Give the value of 𝑘. 𝑘 = 59

Thus, the vertex form of 𝒚 = −𝟑𝒙𝟐 − 𝟐𝟒𝒙 + 𝟏𝟏 is 𝒚 = −𝟑(𝒙 + 𝟒)𝟐 + 𝟓𝟗.

−𝒃 𝟒𝒂𝒄−𝒃𝟐
Method 2: By using the formulas 𝒉 = and 𝒌 =
𝟐𝒂 𝟒𝒂

In the equation 𝑦 = −3𝑥 2 − 24𝑥 + 11, 𝑎 = −3, 𝑏 = −24 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐 = 11

Substitute the values in the formula.

ℎ=
−𝑏 4𝑎𝑐 − 𝑏2
2𝑎 𝑘=
−(−24) 4𝑎
ℎ= 4(−3)(11) − (−24)2
2(−3) 𝑘=
24 4𝑎
ℎ= −132 − 576
−6 𝑘=
ℎ = −4 4(−3)
−708
𝑘=
−12
𝑘= 59

By substituting the solved values of ℎ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑘 in 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + 𝑘, we

obtain 𝑦 = −3(𝑥 + 4)2 + 59.

9
B. Transform the given Quadratic Function in the form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + 𝑘 into
𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐. Then, identify the values of 𝑎, 𝑏 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐.

Example 1: 𝒇(𝒙) = (𝒙 − 𝟑)𝟐 − 𝟕

Steps Task
1. Expand (𝑥 − 3)2 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 9 − 7
2. Simplify 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 2

The function 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = (𝑥 − 3)2 − 7 can be written as 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 2.

Therefore, 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = −6, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐 = 2.

Example 2: 𝒚 = −𝟑(𝒙 + 𝟒)𝟐 + 𝟓𝟗

Steps Tasks
1. Expand (𝑥 + 4)2 𝑦 = −3(𝑥 2 + 8𝑥 + 16) + 59
2. Multiply the perfect square trinomial by −3 𝑦 = −3𝑥 2 − 24𝑥 − 48 + 59
3. Simplify by combining similar terms. 𝑦 = −3𝑥 2 − 24𝑥 + 11

The function 𝑦 = −3(𝑥 + 4)2 + 59 can be written as 𝑦 = −3𝑥 2 − 24𝑥 + 11.

Then 𝑎 = −3, 𝑏 = −24, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐 = 11.
