Quadratic Functions

This document provides information about quadratic functions including their form, graphs, and tables of values. Key points: - A quadratic function is of the form f(x)=ax^2 +bx+c where a≠0. Its graph is a parabola. - If a>0 the parabola opens upward, if a<0 it opens downward. - Tables of values for quadratics show equal second differences, allowing them to be identified using the second difference test. - Quadratic functions can be represented graphically by plotting the points (x, f(x)) which form a parabola.

A table of values can be generated from a


quadratic function by substituting the x-
values and calculating for f(x)/y.

Second Difference Test


In a quadratic function, equal differences
in the independent variable x produce equal
second differences in the dependent variable.
1 x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
y 18 11 6 3 2 3 6

First Difference
in y
11−18=−7 6−11=−5 3−6=−3 2−3=−1 3−2=1 6−3=3
Second
Difference in y
−5− ( −7 )=2 −3− ( −5 )=2 −1− ( −3) =2 1− ( −1 ) =2 3−1=2
The second differences are equal. Hence, this table
represents a quadratic function.

First Difference
in y

Second
Difference in y
−2− (− 6 )= 4 2− ( −2 )= 4 10−6=4 14−10=4
The second differences are equal. Hence, this table
represents a quadratic function.
3 x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
y -3 -1 1 3 5 7 9

First Difference

−1− ( −3 ) =2 1− ( −1 ) =2 3−1=2 5−3=2 7−5=2 9−7=2


in y

Notice that we obtain a common or equal difference in the first


difference.

Therefore, this table DOES NOT represents a quadratic function.

GRAPH
The graph of a quadratic function is a
smooth curved called a parabola.

If a > 0, then the graph opens upward.


 a is positive
If a < 0, then the graph opens downward.
