Quadratic Functions and Graphs
- The graph of quadratic functions is known as a parabola.
- Quadratic functions are characterized by an equation in which the highest power of the variable is 2.
Understanding Quadratic Equations
- The equation ( y + 2x^2 = 2x(x + 1) ) represents a quadratic function because the highest degree of x, after simplifying, is 2.
- Quadratic functions cannot be expressed in the form ( y = mx + b ) as this format depicts linear functions.
Analyzing Data Tables
- A table of values with outcomes where all y values are positive does not necessarily indicate a quadratic relationship.
- To confirm if a table represents a quadratic function, one must check if the first differences (differences between consecutive y values) are equal or if the second differences are equal.
Completing the Table of Values
- For the quadratic equation ( y = -2x^2 + 4x + 7 ), specific values of ( m ) and ( n ) need to be calculated to fill in the table correctly.
Characteristics of Quadratic Functions
- A quadratic function is generally expressed as ( y = ax^2 + bx + c ), where ( a > 0 ) indicates the parabola opens upwards.
- The vertex form of a quadratic function is given as ( y = a(x-h)^2 + k ), where ( (h, k) ) represents the vertex of the parabola.
Visualization of Quadratics
- Graphs describing a quadratic function with ( a > 0 ) depict a parabola that opens upwards.
