Graphs of Quad Functions

The document provides an overview of quadratic functions, detailing how to find roots, intercepts, turning points, and whether these points are maxima or minima. It includes examples of solving quadratic equations through factorization and describes the graphical representation of these functions. Key attributes such as the roots, intercept, turning point, and maximum/minimum nature of the graph are emphasized for understanding and sketching 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
2
y = x + 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 1. Roots:
attributes of a (x+9) (x+1) = 0
quadratic function we x = -9 x = -1
can sketch the 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
