Quadratic

Functions
Grade 8 | Mathematics 2
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
● define quadratic function in general form: 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐;
● graph a quadratic function by using set of ordered pairs or table
of values;
● determine the concavity, vertex, axis of symmetry, and intercepts
of the parabola representing a quadratic function;
● sketch the graph of a quadratic function using its vertex and
intercepts; and
● state the domain and range of quadratic functions.
Definition
A quadratic function 𝑓 is a function that
can be written in the form
𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄, 𝑎 ≠ 0
and 𝑎, 𝑏, and 𝑐 are real numbers.

Note: The graph of a quadratic function is called a parabola.


Recall:

Line Test
A graph is a
function if no
vertical line
intersects the
graph at more
than one
point.

Domain and Range
• The domain of a function is a set
containing all the first coordinates
(x-coordinates or abscissa) of the
given function.
• Meanwhile, the range of a function
is a set containing all the second
coordinates (y-coordinates or
ordinate) of the given function.
