The quadratic function is represented by an equation of
the form

Where a, b and c are constant values and a ≠ 0.


THE GRAPHIC...

The graphs of quadratic functions


describe a vertical parabola.
The intersections of the graph with the x-axis are the values of
If the zeros are not real, it means that the graph does not cut the x-axis
x for which f(x) = 0 and are known as roots, zeros, or solutions
of the function. To find the intersections on x, the equation ax2
+ bx + c must be solved, setting it to zero and solving for x.
The discriminant of a quadratic function allows to determine the
number of real solutions:

If b2 – 4ac > 0, the function has two real solutions, that is, it has two
intersections with the x-axis.
If b2 – 4ac = 0, the function has only one real solution, that is, it has
one intersection with the x-axis.
If b2 – 4ac < 0, the function has no real solution, that is, it has no
intersection with the x-axis.

Given the function f(x) = 3x - 27x – 30, find the points where the graph intersects the x-axis

Set the equation to zero and solve for x: Using the cuadratic formula
3x 2- 21x + 30 = 0
Factor to find the roots of x:
3(x 2- 7x + 10) = 0
3(x – 5)(x – 2) = 0
The factors are:
(x – 5) y (x – 2)
Where the zeros or roots are obtained from:
x1 = 5 y x2 = 2
The quadratic function is a second-degree polynomial of the form:

This form of the quadratic function is known as general.


The standard form of the quadratic function is:

It is possible to transform a quadratic function from its general form to its standard form and vice versa.
If a<0
Parabola open downwards
Domain (-∞,∞)
Range is (-∞,k]

If a>0
Parabola open upwards
Domain (-∞,∞)
Range is [k,∞)
