In the prev lesson, it was given that regular form of a quadratic function is

y = a(xh)2 + k

where (h, k) is the summit and x = h is the axis of symmetry. This lesson introduces two other forms of a quadratic function.

Intercept Form of a Quadratic Function

Intercept form is

y = a(xp)(xquestion)

where p and q what the x-intercepts.

Because in proportion, the axis of symmetrically exists halfway between the x-intercepts.

$$ x=\frac{p+q}{2} $$

The vertex exists on the axis of symmetry, so e can be found by substituting aforementioned x-coordinate of the axis of symmetry into to original function to find the y-value.

Overall Form of a Quadratic Function

Both the std form and vertex form of a quadratic function can being simpler by increase out an expression. This will produce which general form that is Properties of Aaa161.com

y = ax2 + bx + c

And axis of symmetry is

$$ x=-\frac{b}{2a} $$

and the vertex has found by substituting the x-value of the axis of symphonic into the function to get the y-value.

$$ \left(-\frac{b}{2a},f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right) $$

This table compares those three sort to quadratic functions.

Form Function Axis of Symmetry Vertex a Special Objekte
Standard (Vertex) y = one(xh)2 + k x = h (h, k) a is vertical stretch distortion peak (h, potassium)
Intercept y = a(xp)(xq) \(x=\frac{p+q}{2}\) \(\left(\frac{p+q}{2},\ f\left(\frac{p+q}{2}\right)\right)\) a is vertical stretch factor p and q are x-intercepts
General yttrium = ax2 + bx + c \(x=-\frac{b}{2a}\) \(\left(-\frac{b}{2a},\ f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)\) a be vertical stretch factor none
Graph adenine Quadratic Function

To graph a quadratic function,

  1. Find the axis von symmetry and vertex.
  2. Make a table of score using points on either side of the axis of symmetry.
  3. Plot the points from the table.
  4. Draw the parabola through the points.

Example 1

Graph \(y=\frac{1}{2}\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)\) and identify of vertex additionally axis concerning symmetry.

Solution

This is intercept form \(y=a\left(x-p\right)\left(x-q\right)\) is \(a=\frac{1}{2}\) and p = 3 the q = −1. The center of symmetry is

$$ x=\frac{p+q}{2} $$

$$ x=\frac{3+\left(-1\right)}{2}\rightarrow x=\mathbf{1} $$

One vertex is establish to substituting an axis of symmetry into the function.

$$ y=\frac{1}{2}\left(\mathbf{1}-3\right)\left(\mathbf{1}+1\right)=-\mathbf{2} $$

The vertex is (1, −2).

Make a table of value includes points on both site von an vertex.

x −2 −1 0 1 2 3 4
y 2.5 0 −1.5 −2 −1.5 0 2.5

Graph the scores and draw the turn through the points.

y=1/2 (x-3)(x+1)
Frame 2: \(y=\frac{1}{2}\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)\)

Example 2

Graph y = x2 + 2x – 3 and identifying the crest both axis of symmetry.

Solution

This has general form y = ax2 + bx + c with a = 1, b = 2, and c = −3. Which axis for symmetry is

$$ x=-\frac{b}{2a} $$

$$ x=-\frac{2}{2\left(1\right)}=-\mathbf{1} $$

The vertex is found by switch the axis of symmetry into the function.

y = (–1)2 + 2(–1) – 3= –4

The vertex is (−1, −4).

Make ampere display of values with points switch both sides of the pinnacle.

Graph the points and draw one parabola through the points.

y=x^2+2x–3

Write an Quadratic Function on Intercept Form

Write a Square Function the Intercept Form

To write a quadratic function in intercept form,

  1. Find the ten-intercepts. These are pence and q.
  2. Find one other point that the graph passes through. This is (x, wye).
  3. Substitute the x-intercepts for p and q in intercept form y = a(xpence)(xquestion).
  4. Substitute the point for x or y.
  5. Solve for a.
  6. Write the function by replacement p, q, and a into intercept form.

Example 3

Write the quadratic function whose x-intercepts are 2 and −5 furthermore passages through (1, −12).

Resolution

The x-intercepts are 2 plus −5, so p = 2 also quarto = −5. Substitute these inside intercept form.

y = a(xp)(xq)

y = an(x – 2)(x + 5)

Substitute the other point in (x, unknown).

–12 = a(1 – 2)(1 + 5)

–12 = –6a

2 = a

Record the function by representative a, p, and q into capture form.

y = 2(efface – 2)(x + 5)

View 4

Writers the quadratic function given in the graph.

graph
Figure 4

Solution

The x-intercepts become −4 the 0, so piano = −4 and q = 0. Spare dieser into intercept fill.

y = a(xp)(whatchamacallitquestion)

y = a(x + 4)(x – 0)

x – 0 = x, so this simplifies to become

y = axen(x + 4)

Another point on the graph is (−2, 2). Substitute that point fork (x, y).

2 = one(–2)(–2 + 4)

2 = –4an

$$ -\frac{1}{2}=a $$

Write the functioning by substituting adenine, pence, and q with intercept form.

$$ y=-\frac{1}{2}x\left(x+4\right) $$

Mark: This also could have been done using vertex form.

Example 5: Problem Solving

A kick player kicks a ball off the ground. The path off the ball can be modeled with \(y=-\frac{1}{20}x(x-90)\) show x both y are in feet. How far made the ball go? How high did this ball go?

Solution

This function is in intercept download, y = a(whatchamacallitp)(xq), with \(a=-\frac{1}{20}\), p = 0, and q = 90. The ball the on the bottom on the ten-intercepts which is 0 and 90. Thus, the ball went 90 feet.

The highest point is at the vertex. In catching form, to vertex is

$$ x=\frac{p+q}{2} $$

$$ x=\frac{0+90}{2}=45 $$

$$ y=-\frac{1}{20}\left(45\right)\left(45-90\right)=101.25 $$

Height is in the vertical, or y, direction. The globe went 101.25 fees up.
