2 :0 The Paraola Outcomes PS, PS, PS Up until this point, all the graphs have een straight lines. In this section, we will look at a most famous mathematical curve, the paraola. The equations of paraolas are called quadratic equations and have as the highest power of. 9 The simplest equation of a paraola is: 7 = s with the straight line, the equation is used to find the points on the curve. Some of these are shown in the tale. = For an accurate graph, man points would have to e plotted. From the graph we can see that the paraola has a turning point, or verte, which is the minimum value of on =. The -ais is an ais of smmetr of the curve, so the right side of the curve is a reflection of the left side. This can e seen when points on either side of the ais are compared. The paraola is concave up, which means it opens out upwards. The shape of the paraola is clearl demonstrated the water arcs of this fountain. 0 Paraolas can e happ (up) or sad (down).

7 Investigation :0 The graph of paraolas graphics calculator or computer graphing package are ecellent tools for investigating the relationship etween the equation of a paraola and its graph. Use either of the aove to investigate graphs of the following forms for varing values of a, h and k. = a = a ± k = ( ± h) = ( ± h) + k Write a report on each of the forms, eplaining how the features of the graph, such as the concavit, the position of the verte and the numer of -intercepts, are related to the values of a, h and k.

8 :0 Paraolas of the Form Outcome PS = a + + c In the last section, we saw that all paraolas have the same asic shape. The are all concave up or concave down with a single verte or turning point. The are smmetrical aout an ais of smmetr. We looked at the connection etween the paraola s shape and its equation and at what numers in the equation influenced the steepness, the concavit and the position of the graph on the numer plane. In this section, we look at how to sketch the paraola when its equation is given in the form = a + + c. We will also look at how to find features of the paraola, such as the - and -intercepts, the ais of smmetr, the verte and the maimum or minimum value of. Finding the -intercept To find the -intercept of = +, we let e zero. = + When = 0, = The -intercept is. The curve cuts the -ais at (0, ). This one looks happ! (, 0) (, 0) Finding the -intercepts To find the -intercepts of = +, we let e zero. = + When = 0, 0 = + Solving this, 0 = ( + )( ) = or ais of The -intercepts are and. smmetr The curve cuts the -ais at (, 0) and (, 0).

9 Finding the ais of smmetr Since the paraola = + has a vertical ais of smmetr, the ais of smmetr will cut the -ais half-wa etween (, 0) and (, 0), which are the two -intercepts. The ais of + smmetr will have the equation = , ie = -- is the ais of smmetr. For the paraola = +, a =, =, c =. The ais of smmetr is = ( ) ie = The ais of smmetr of the paraola = a + + c is given the equation = a -- For the paraola = a + + c, the -intercepts are found solving 0 = a + + c. ± ie ac = a The ais of smmetr will cut the -ais half-wa etween these two values. + ac ac a a = a = = a = a I think I ll just use a The ais of smmetr is = a Finding the verte (or turning point) and the maimum or minimum value s the verte lies on the ais of smmetr, its -coordinate will e the same as that of the ais of smmetr. The -coordinate can e found sustituting this value into the equation of the paraola. For = +, the ais of smmetr is = --. Now, when = --, = ( ) -- + ( -- ) = -- The verte of the paraola is ( --, -- ). (, ) Chapter Numer Plane Graphs and Coordinate Geometr

10 The minimum or maimum value of will occur at the verte. The paraola will have: a minimum value of if the paraola is concave up (when the coefficient of is positive, eg = ) a maimum value of if the paraola is concave down (when the coefficient of is negative, eg = ) Hence, on the paraola = +, the minimum value of is -- when = --. The method of completing the square can also e used to find the minimum or maimum value and the verte as shown elow. = + = ( ) -- = ( + ) s ( + -- ) is alwas greater than or equal to 0, the minimum value of will e -- when = -- and the verte is the point ( --, -- ).

For the -intercepts, let = 0 0 = + ( + )( ) = 0 The -intercepts are and. c is of smmetr: = (midpoint of -intercepts) = is the ais of smmetr. d To find the verte, sustitute = into the equation to find the -value. = ( ) + ( ) = The verte is (, ). We now plot the aove information on a numer plane and fit the paraola to it. -intercepts = 0 (, ) verte ais: = -intercept New Signpost Mathematics Enhanced 0..

11 a To find the -intercept of = + +, let e zero. = (0) + (0) + The -intercept is. For the -intercepts, solve + + = 0. However, when we use the formula, we get ± = ± = This gives us a negative numer under the square root sign. You can t find the square root of a negative numer!

In this chapter, the curve s equation is of the form: = a + d hperola k curve with the equation = -- where k is a constant. It has two asmptotes (the -ais and -ais), which are lines that the curve approaches ut never reaches. paraola curve with the equation = a + + c. eponential curve curve with an equation of the form = a, where a > 0. equation n algeraic statement that epresses the relationship etween the - and -coordinates of ever point (, ) on the curve. graph (of a curve) The line that results when the points that satisf a curve s equation are plotted on a numer plane. The line of smmetr of the paraola is its ais of smmetr. The equation of the ais of smmetr is = a Paraolas can e concave up or concave down. The highest (or lowest) value of on the paraola is the maimum (or minimum) value. The point where the paraola turns around is its verte (or turning point). - and -intercept(s) The point(s) where a curve crosses the - or -ais. Maths terms New Signpost Mathematics Enhanced 0..
