Domain and Range of Quadratic Functions

The document discusses the key properties of quadratic functions, including their domain and range. It states that the domain of any quadratic function is all real numbers, while the range depends on whether the leading coefficient is positive or negative. If positive, the range is all numbers greater than or equal to zero; if negative, the range is all numbers less than or equal to zero. It also covers how to determine the vertex, axis of symmetry, x-intercepts, and whether the parabola opens upward or downward based on the sign of the leading coefficient.

Domain and Range

of Quadratic
Functions
 
The domain and range are important properties of functions. The domain of a
quadratic function is the set of all admissible values of the independent variable, usually
x. The set of all resulting values for the dependent variable y after substituting all
allowable values of x comprise the range of the quadratic function.

Example 1: Determine the domain and range of each quadratic function.


x -2 -1 0 1 2
y 4 1 0 1 4

The function exists for all values of x. Thus, the domain is the set of all real numbers
or R. Note that the least function is 0. As the values of x extend to both directions,
the values of y increase. Therefore, the range is the set of all y-values greater
than or equal to zero, or using the notation, [0, +ꝏ) or {y│ y ≥ 0}.
 
b. + 2 x -1 0 1 2 3
y 1 2 1 -2 -7

Domain: all real numbers ( R )


Range: (-ꝏ, 2 ] or {y│ y ≤ 2}

c. x -4 -3 -2 -1 0
0 -4 -1 0 -1 -4

Domain: All real numbers ( R )


Range: [-ꝏ, 0 ) or {y│ y ≤ 0}
 
In general, the following conclusions can be made about the domain and
range of any quadratic function of the form :

1. The domain of any quadratic function is the set of all real numbers.

2. The range of a quadratic function is the set of all y-values such that
if a is positive or if a is negative.

1. Given the quadratic function determine the vertex of the parabola, axis
of symmetry, and domain and range of the function.

2. The domain and range of a quadratic function determine all allowable


values of the independent variable that produce the values of the
dependent variable. Similarly, every individual is allowed to act freely for
the fulfillment of his or her dream. As an adolescent, to what extent are
you allowed to enjoy your freedom. What do you think are the limitations
on your freedom?
Intercepts, Zeros, and Opening of the Parabola

The x-intercept of the graph of a quadratic function is the point where the
graph intersects the x-axis. On the other hand, the zeros of the function refer to
the values of x that make the function value or y-coordinate equal to 0.

The x-intercept of the parabola can be determined algebraically by letting


the value of y be equal to 0 and then solving the roots of the resulting quadratic
equation.
 
Example: Determine algebraically the x-intercept of the graph of each
quadratic function.

Let y = 0.

0=
=
x=0

Therefore, the x –intercept of the graph is at (0, 0).


 
b.

Let y = 0

=0

=0
x = -1
Therefore, the x-intercept of the graph is at (-1, 0).

2.
The parabola can open upward or downward. The opening of the
graph of a quadratic function can be easily determined without actually
graphing the function through the value of a. If a is positive, then the
parabola open upward. If a is negative, then the parabola opens
downward.
 
Example: Sketch the graph of each function. Determine the vertex of the
parabola, axis of symmetry, domain, range, x –intercepts of the graph,
zeros of the function, minimum or maximum point of the parabola, and
opening of the parabola.

x -2 -1 0 1 2

y 12 3 0 3 12
 1. vertex: ( 0, 0)
2. Axis of symmetry: x = 0
3. Domain: all real numbers
4. Range: [0, +ꝏ ) or {y│ y 0}
5. x-intercept: (0,0)
6. Minimum point : (0, 0)
7. Zero of the function: x = 0
8. Opening: Upward
 
b. x -2 -1 0 1 2
y -4 -1 0 -1 -4

 1. vertex: ( 0, 0)
2. Axis of symmetry: x = 0
3. Domain: all real numbers
4. Range: (-ꝏ, 0 ] or {y│ y 0}
5. x-intercept: (0,0)
6. Maximum point : (0, 0)
7. Zero of the function: x = 0
8. Opening: downward
 
From the graphs of and , we can generalize the characteristics and
properties of the graph of quadratic functions of the form .

1. The graph is a parabola whose vertex is at the origin. The axis of


symmetry of the parabola is the y-axis or the line x = 0.
2. The domain is the set of real numbers.
3. If a > 0, the range is the set of real numbers greater than or equal to
zero or {y│ y 0}.
4. If a < 0, the range is the set of real numbers less than or equal to zero
or {y│ y 0}.
5. If a > 0, the parabola opens upward and has a minimum or lowest
point. Moreover, both sides of the parabola go up from the vertex.
6. If a < 0, the parabola opens downward and has a maximum or highest point.
Further, both sides of the parabola go down infinitely from the vertex.
7. If the parabola opens upward, the vertex is the minimum point. If the
parabola opens downward, the vertex is the maximum point.
8. The graph intersects the x-axis at the origin; thus, the x-intercept is ta point
(0, 0).
9. The zero of the function is at x = 0.
 
Example: Sketch the graph of . Determine the vertex, domain, range, axis of
symmetry, x-intercepts, minimum or maximum point, zeros, and opening.

x -1 0 1 2 3 4
y 8 3 0 -1 0 3
 1. vertex: ( 2, -1)
2. Axis of symmetry: x = 2
3. Domain: all real numbers
4. Range: [-1, +ꝏ ) or {y│ y -1}
5. x-intercept: (1,0) and (3, 0).
6. Minimum point : (2, -1)
7. Zero of the function: x = 1 and x = 3
8. Opening: Upward
