BASIC CONCEPTS

IN MATHEMATICS
GRAPH OF A
QUADRATIC FUNCTION
AXIS OF SYMMETRY

The vertical line


through the vertex that
divides the parabola
into two equal parts.
Direction of opening of a parabola

Can be determined from the


value of a in f(x) = ax² + bx + c.
If a > 0, the parabola opens
upward; if a < 0, the parabola
opens downward.
DOMAIN OF A QUADRATIC
FUNCTION

The set of all possible values


of x. Thus the domain is the
set of all real numbers.
Maximum value

The maximum value of


f(x) = ax² + bx + c where a< 0, is the
y-coordinate of the vertex.
Minimum value

The minimum value of


f(x) = ax² + bx + c where a > 0, is the
y-coordinate of the vertex.
PARABOLA

The graph of a quadratic


function.
QUADRATIC FUNCTION
A second-degree function of the
form f(x) = ax² +bx + c where a, b,
and c are real numbers and a ≠
0. This is a function which
describes a polynomial of degree
2.
RANGE OF A QUADRATIC
FUNCTION

Consists of all y greater than or equal


to the y-coordinate of the vertex if the
parabola opens upward.

Consists of all y less than or equal to


the y-coordinate of the vertex if the
parabola opens downward.
VERTEX
The turning point of the parabola or the
lowest or highest point of the parabola.
If the quadratic function is expressed in
standard form y = a(x-h)² + k, the vertex
is the point (h, k)
ZEROS OF A QUADRATIC
FUNCTION
The values of x when y equals 0. The real
zeros are the x-intercepts of the
function’s graph.
