3. Quadratic Function  A quadratic function is a function that can be written in the standard form: y = ax 2 + bx + c, where a ≠ 0  The graph of a quadratic equation is a parabola. The lowest or highest point on a parabola is the vertex. The axis of symmetry divides the parabola into mirror images and passes through the vertex.

5. Axis of Symmetry of Quadratic  The quadratic function is a symmetrical function around a vertical axis of symmetry. That means, if we draw a vertical line through the function, the distance from the axis of symmetry to the function in both directions is the same.

6. Axis of Symmetry of Quadratic  Graph (using an “H” table), calculate the zeros and compare axis of symmetry of the following functions: f(x) = x 2 + 6x + 5 g(x) = x 2 + 6x + 9 h(x) = x 2 + 6x - 7 (later) Show some Geosketch examples  Explain your findings and make a statement about what c does in the equation of ax 2 + bx + c = 0

7. Calculating the Axis of Symmetry of Quadratics  The c in the standard form of the quadratic equation ax 2 + bx + c = 0, simply moves the graph vertically. It does not change the axis of symmetry.  Since c can be changed without changing the axis of symmetry, let us choose c to equal zero and find the zeros of the resulting equation and the axis of symmetry.

8.  We now have: ax 2 + bx = 0  Factoring out GCF gives:  Solving gives  We also know the axis of symmetry is the vertical line in the center of the zeros, so the axis of symmetry is at the mean (average) of the two zeros.  The axis of symmetry is located at: Axis of Symmetry of Quadratic x(ax + b) = 0 x = 0 or x = -b/a x = (–b/a + 0)/2 = -b/(2a)

9. Axis of Symmetry of Quadratic  Determine the equation for the axis of symmetry for our equations: f(x) = x 2 + 6x + 5 g(x) = x 2 + 6x + 9 h(x) = x 2 + 6x - 7  The equation is x = -3  Draw a vertical line through x = -3  Calculate the distance on the x-axis from the axis of symmetry to each zero.  Explain what you notice.

10. Axis of Symmetry of Quadratic  Can we use the same equation to determine the axis of symmetry for functions that do not cross the x-axis? Graph and determine the equation for the axis of symmetry for: h(x) = x 2 + 6x + 12  Use the line y = 7 to determine the distance from the axis to the function.  Explain your results.

11. Axis of Symmetry of Quadratic  The axis of symmetry can still be determined by x = (0 –b/a)/2 = -b/(2a) even for functions that do not cross the x-axis.
