Exploring Quadratic
Graphs
Objective:
To graph quadratic
functions.
Parabola
The graph of any quadratic
function.
It is a kind of
curve.
Where are parabolas seen in the real
world?
The Arctic Poppy
Satellite Dishes
The Golden Gate Bridge
Trajectory
Headlights
Why is the parabola important?
 Suspension
Bridges use a
parabolic design
to evenly
distribute the
weight of the
entire bridge to
the supporting
columns.
Why is the parabola important?
 The Satellite Dish uses a parabolic shape to
ensure that no matter where on the dish
surface the satellite signal strikes, it is always
reflected to the receiver.
Why is the parabola important?
A car’s Headlights, and common flashlights, use
parabolic mirrors to project the light from the bulb
into a tight beam, directing the light straight out
from the car, or flashlight.

y = ax2 + bx + c
Positive “a” values mean the
parabola will open upwards and
will have a minimum.
point
Minimum point is also
called a vertex.
y = -ax2 + bx + c
Negative “a” values mean the
parabola will open downwards
and will have a maximum point
Maximum point is
also called a vertex.
Will the graph open up or down?
x  6x  4

Steps
1. Draw a table and insert
vertex of (0,0).
2. Choose two numbers greater than the
x coordinate and two numbers less.
3. Solve for Y Graph

Make a table of values.
Choose values of x and
use them to find values
of y.
Graph the points. Then
connect the points with a
smooth curve.

of y.
Graph the points. Then
connect the points with a
smooth curve.
Additional Example 3A: Identifying the Direction
of a Parabola
Tell whether the graph of the quadratic
function opens upward or downward. Explain.
Write the function in the form
y = ax2 + bx + c by solving for y.
Add
to both sides.
Identify the value of a.
Since a > 0, the parabola
opens upward.
Additional Example 3B: Identifying the Direction
of a Parabola
Tell whether the graph of the quadratic
function opens upward or downward. Explain.
y = 5x – 3x2
y = –3x2 + 5x
Write the function in the
form y = ax2 + bx + c.
a = –3
Identify the value of a.
Since a < 0, the parabola opens downward.
Check It Out! Example 3a
Tell whether the graph of each quadratic
function opens upward or downward. Explain.
f(x) = –4x2 – x + 1
f(x) = –4x2 – x + 1
a = –4
Identify the value of a.
Since a < 0 the parabola opens downward.
Lesson Quiz: Part I
1. Without graphing, tell whether (3, 12) is on the
graph of y = 2x2 – 5. no
2. Graph y = 1.5x2.
Lesson Quiz: Part II
Use the graph for Problems 3-5.
3. Identify the vertex.
(5, –4)
4. Does the function have a
minimum or maximum? What is
it? maximum; –4
5. Find the domain and range.
D: all real numbers;
R: y ≤ –4
