2 Objectives Find the zeros of a quadratic function from its graph.
Find the axis of symmetry and the vertex of a parabola.

3 Recall that an x-intercept of a function is a value of x when y = 0
Recall that an x-intercept of a function is a value of x when y = 0. A zero of a function is an x-value that makes the function equal to 0. So a zero of a function is the same as an x-intercept of a function. Since a graph intersects the x-axis at the point or points containing an x-intercept, these intersections are also at the zeros of the function. A quadratic function may have one, two, or no zeros.

4 A vertical line that divides a parabola into two symmetrical halves is the axis of symmetry. The axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex of the parabola. You can use the zeros to find the axis of symmetry.

6 If a function has no zeros or they are difficult to identify from a graph, you can use a formula to find the axis of symmetry. The formula works for all quadratic functions.

7 Once you have found the axis of symmetry, you can use it to identify the vertex.

8 Example 1 Find the axis of symmetry/vertex of the graph of y = –3x2 + 10x + 9. Step 1. Find the values of a and b. Step 2. Use the formula. y = –3x2 + 10x + 9 a = –3, b = 10 The axis of symmetry is

9 Example 2 Find the axis of symmetry/vertex of the graph of y = 2x2 + x + 3. Step 1. Find the values of a and b. Step 2. Use the formula. y = 2x2 + 1x + 3 a = 2, b = 1 The axis of symmetry is

10 Example 3 Find the axis of symmetry/vertex. y = –3x2 + 6x – 7 Step 1 Find the x-coordinate of the vertex. a = –3, b = 10 Identify a and b. Substitute –3 for a and 6 for b. The x-coordinate of the vertex is 1.

11 Example 3 Continued Find the axis of symmetry/vertex. y = –3x2 + 6x – 7 Step 2 Find the corresponding y-coordinate. y = –3x2 + 6x – 7 Use the function rule. = –3(1)2 + 6(1) – 7 Substitute 1 for x. = –3 + 6 – 7 = –4 Step 3 Write the ordered pair. The vertex is (1, –4).

12 Example 4 Find the axis of symmetry/vertex. y = x2 – 4x – 10 Step 1 Find the x-coordinate of the vertex. a = 1, b = –4 Identify a and b. Substitute 1 for a and –4 for b. The x-coordinate of the vertex is 2.

13 Example 4 Continued Find the axis of symmetry/vertex. y = x2 – 4x – 10 Step 2 Find the corresponding y-coordinate. y = x2 – 4x – 10 Use the function rule. = (2)2 – 4(2) – 10 Substitute 2 for x. = 4 – 8 – 10 = –14 Step 3 Write the ordered pair. The vertex is (2, –14).

15 Example 1A: Finding Zeros of Quadratic Functions From Graphs
Find the zeros of the quadratic function from its graph. Check your answer. y = x2 – 2x – 3 y = (–1)2 – 2(–1) – 3 = – 3 = 0 y = 32 –2(3) – 3 = 9 – 6 – 3 = 0 y = x2 – 2x – 3 Check The zeros appear to be –1 and 3.

16 Example 1B: Finding Zeros of Quadratic Functions From Graphs
Find the zeros of the quadratic function from its graph. Check your answer. y = x2 + 8x + 16 Check y = x2 + 8x + 16 y = (–4)2 + 8(–4) + 16 = 16 – = 0 The zero appears to be –4.

17 Notice that if a parabola has only one zero, the zero is the x-coordinate of the vertex.

20 A vertical line that divides a parabola into two symmetrical halves is the axis of symmetry. The axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex of the parabola. You can use the zeros to find the axis of symmetry.
