coefficient c indicates the ordinate of point Y where
the parabola intersects the axis

1.2. Concavity
In the quadratic function f (x) = ax2 + bx + c, the
coefficient a indicates whether the parabola is concave
up or down.
If a> 0,
is concave up
If a <0,
is concave downward
Then, the parabola intersects the Y axis at the point (0, - 4)
and is concave upward.

Example:
In the function f (x) = x2 - 3x - 4, a = 1 and c = - 4.
(0,-4)
The value of "b" in the equation allows to know the movement
horizontal parabola and the "a" concave.
Be the quadratic function f (x) = ax + bx + c
Then
IF a>0 y b<0 The parabola opens upward and is oriented to
right.
IF a>0 y b>0 The parabola opens upward and is oriented to
left
IF a<0 y b>0 The parabola opens downward and is
oriented to right
IF a<0 y b<0 The parabola opens downward and is oriented
left

the parabola, and is parallel to the axis Y.

1.It means that the function is moved to the left or
right, h units and opens upward or downward.
Ex. 1) y=2(x-3) () 2) y=-3(x-4) ()

If y=ax any quadratic function, then:
2. y =a(x+h) means that the function is moved to the left or
right h units and opens up or down.
Ex. 1) y= 4(x+2) () 2) y=-(x+1) ()

4. y=a(x + h) k means that the function is moved to the
right or left k units up or down.
