Graphs of Quadratic Functions

1) The roots are -4 and -2, where the graph crosses the x-axis. 2) The y-intercept is (0,8), where the graph crosses the y-axis. 3) The turning point is (-3,-1), found by completing the square. 4) It is a minimum since the quadratic is positive.

Graphs of Quadratic Functions
 We can tell a lot about a graph without even
plotting it – just by using the equation (name)

1. The Roots (where it crosses the x-axis)


2. The Intercept (where it crosses the y-axis)
3. The Turning Point (where the gradient
changes from negative to positive or vice
versa)
4. Whether the turning point is a Maximum
point or Minimum point
1. Roots
2
x + 2x - 3 = 0

Factorised:
(x + 3) (x - 1) = 0

Therefore:
x = -3 and x = 1

Look at the graph


1. Roots
The Roots of a quadratic are where the graph
intersects with the x-axis.

They can be found by solving the quadratic


equation when y = 0.

This can be done by factorising, completing


the square or using the quadratic formula.
2. Intercept
2
y = x + 2x - 3

We can also see the


intercept
2. Intercept
The Intercept is where the graph cuts the y-
axis.

This is always the (+c) (end number) of the


quadratic equation
3. Turning Point
2
y = x + 2x – 3

Completed Square:

y = (x + 1)2 – 4
3. Turning Point
The turning point of a quadratic is where the
gradient changes from negative to positive or
vice versa.

This can be found by completing the square in


the form y = a(x + b)2 + c

The coordinate of the turning point is (-b, c)


4. Max or Min
y = x2 + 2x – 3

If a quadratic is
positive (U Shape)
the turning point will
be a Minimum.

If it is a negative (n
Shape) it will be a
maximum
4. Max or Min
The Turning Point is either a Maximum value or
a Minimum value.

If a quadratic is positive (U Shape) the turning


point will be a Minimum.

If it is a negative (n Shape) it will be a


Maximum

Using these 4 attributes 1. Roots:
of a quadratic function (x+9) (x+1) = 0
we can sketch the x = -9 x = -1
graph. (-9, 0) (-1, 0)
2. Intercept:
For example: +9 (0, 9)
3. Turning Point:
y = x2 + 10x + 9 y = (x+5)2 -16
(-5, -16)
4. Max/Min:
Minimum
