Properties
Preliminary Activities

•Prayer
•Food for Thought
•Recall of Previous Lessons
Target Objectives
•   the end of the session, you should be
At
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.

Axis of Symmetry – the vertical line through the vertex that divides the parabola
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.

Domain Set of Real Numbers

Range Since a > 0, then the range is {y l y , Since k = -1, therefore

the range is {y l y
 Graphing Quadratic Functions and Its Properties

Since the value of a is 1 and it is positive, the parabola

opens upward.
 Graphing Quadratic Functions and Its Properties

 
(h,k) = (-2, -1)
The axis of symmetry is x = h. Since h = -1,
therefore the axis of symmetry is x = -1.

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.

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)
