    Graphing Quadratic Equations - Math is Fun

    You can graph a Quadratic Equation using the Function Grapher, but to really understandwhat is going on, you can make the graph yourself. Read On!

    The simplest Quadratic Equation is: f(x) = x2 And its graph is simple too: This is the curve f(x) = x2 It is a parabola Let us see what happens when we introduce the "a"value: f(x) = ax2 1. Larger values of asquash the curve inwards 2. Smaller values of aexpand it outwards 3. And negative values of aflip it upside down

    Before graphing we rearrangethe equation, from this: f(x) = ax2+ bx + c To this: f(x) = a(x-h)2+ k Where: 1. h = −b/2a 2. k = f( h ) In other words, calculate h (= −b/2a), then find k by calculating the whole equation for x=h

    The wonderful thing about this new form is that h and k show us the very lowest (or very highest) point, called the vertex: And also the curve is symmetrical (mirror image) about the axis that passes through x=h, making it easy to graph

    What if we have a graph, and want to find an equation? Some tips: 1. Plot the axis of symmetry (down the middle) to make sure the graph is symmetrical 2. Double check the direction of the parabola (upward or downward) using the sign of a 3. Plot some extra points to make sure your curve is good
