Week 7:

Graphing
Quadratic
Functions
and its
Properties
Preliminary Activities

•Prayer
•Food for Thought
•Recall of Previous Lessons
Target Objectives
At the end of the session, you should be
able to:
• express the quadratic function into
wherein (h, k) is the vertex point;
• identify the vertex, minimum/ maximum
points and values; values of a, opening of
parabola, intercepts and axis of
symmetry; and
• graph the quadratic function.
Key Terms

Parabola – the graph of quadratic function.

the vertical line through the vertex that divides the parabola
Axis of Symmetry – into two equal parts. x = h
Direction of Opening of a Parabola = can be determined from the value of a in
. If a > 0 then the parabola opens upward; if a < 0, the parabola opens downward

Maximum Value – the maximum value of where a < 0, is the y –

coordinate of the vertex.
Maximum Value – the maximum value of where a < 0, is the y –
coordinate of the vertex.
Recall: Transform the following general form of quadratic
function into its vertex form.
 Sketching the Graph of the Quadratic Function:

Substitute the values of x to the function, .

x -4 -3 -2 -1 0
y -1
Substitute x = -4 to Substitute x = -3 to

y=4–1
y=3
Substitute x = -1 to Substitute x = 0 to
Sketching the Graph of the Quadratic
Function:
Construct the table of values wherein the vertex should be at the
middle most part. You may add the same number of boxes to the left
and right of the vertex (both on x and y). The vertex is the ordered pair
(-2, -1)

x -4 -3 -2 -1 0
y 3 0 -1 0 3

 Finding the x and y intercepts

Finding the x intercept Finding the y-intercept

Set the value of y = 0. Set the value of x = 0.

y=4–1
Using symmetric property of equality, y=3
interchange the left and right of the equation.
The y intercept is (0, 3).
Square root property.

x = -2 +1
x = -1
x = -2 – 1
x = -3
The x intercepts are (-1,0) and (-3,0)
