Project Instructions: Find Correct graph of polynomial and observe Parabola’s.

Objective: To explore the graph of a polynomial and observe

● The shape of the curve when the coefficient of x2 is positive.
● The shape of the curve when the coefficient of x2 is negative.
● Its number of zeroes.

Material required: Cardboard, graph paper, ruler, pencil, eraser, pen, adhesive.

Instructions: In this project, we will explore the importance of finding polynomials,

parabolas using graphs. Specifically,We will follow the below steps :
● The shape of the curve obtained in each case is a parabola.
● Parabola opens upward when the coefficient of x2 is positive.
● It opens downward when the coefficient of x2 is negative.
● Maximum number of zeroes which a quadratic polynomial can have is 2.

Research: Research on the figures. observe it then fill it with required information.

1. Write a method of Construction .

● Take cardboard of a convenient size and paste a graph paper on it.
● Consider a quadratic polynomial f (x) = ax2 + bx + c
● Two cases arise:

● (i) a > 0 (ii) a < 0

● Find the ordered pairs (x, f (x)) for different values of x.
● Plot these ordered pairs in the cartesian plane

● Join the plotted points by a free hand curve

2. Answer the following

a) When you draw the parabola than first parabola will opens downward
b) When you draw the parabola then the second Parabola opens upward
c) The First parabola intersects the x-axis at 2 point(s).(- 3 , 0) and ( 4, 0)
 d) Number of zeroes of the given polynomial is 2
e) The Second Parabola intersects the x-axis at 1 point(s).(0 , 0)
f) Number of zeroes of the given polynomial is 1
g) The third parabola intersects the x-axis at none point(s).
h) Number of zeroes of the given polynomial is 0
i) Maximum number of zeroes which a quadratic polynomial can have is 2.

Application : This activity helps in
