    Quadratic Equation Notes

    Uploaded by

    Matthew
    The document provides notes on quadratic functions, including that a quadratic function can be written in the form f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k, with the vertex located at (h, k). It also describes how the values of a, h, and k determine whether the graph is concave up or down and where it is positioned on the x-axis. Additionally, the notes cover how to find the vertex of a quadratic function in the form ax2 + bx + c and how to solve for x-intercepts and y-intercepts, including using the quadratic formula.

    Quadratic Function Notes Created by: Matthew Westerhoff, 2006

    f (x) = a(x − h)2 + k, a 6= 0

    vertex = (h, k)

    axis of symmetry: x = h

    a > 0 → concave up
    a < 0 → concave down

    h > 0 → h units to the right


    h < 0 → |h| units to the left

    k > 0 → k units up
    k < 0 → |k| units down

    f (x) = ax2 + bx + c
    ³ ³ ´´
    Vertex = −b 2a , f −b
    2a

    To solve for x-intercept:


    let f (x) = 0 and solve for x

    To solve for f (x)-intercept:


    let x = 0 and solve for f (x)

    Quadratic Formula:
    √
    x= −b ± b2 − 4ac
    2a
