Use characteristics to graph and write quadratic functions. Use characteristics to graph and write cubic functions. Graphing f ( ) = a( p)( q) You have alread graphed quadratic functions written in several different forms, such as f () = a + b + c (standard form) and g() = a( h) + k (verte form). Quadratic functions can also be written in intercept form, f () = a( p)( q), where a 0. In this form, the polnomial that defines a function is in factored form and the -intercepts of the graph can be easil determined. Core Concept Graphing f ( ) = a( p)( q) The -intercepts are p and q. The ais of smmetr is halfwa between (p, 0) and (q, 0). So, the ais of smmetr is = p + q. The graph opens up when a > 0, and the graph opens down when a < 0. (p, 0) = p + q (q, 0) Graphing f () = a( p)( q) Graph f () = ( + 1)( 5). Describe the domain and range. Step 1 Identif the -intercepts. Because the -intercepts are p = 1 and q = 5, plot ( 1, 0) and (5, 0). Step Find and graph the ais of smmetr. f() = ( + 1)( 5) = p + q = 1 + 5 = 10 (, 9) Step 3 Find and plot the verte. 8 The -coordinate of the verte is. To find the -coordinate of the verte, substitute for and simplif. f () = ( + 1)( 5) = 9 So, the verte is (, 9).

The -coordinate of the verte is f (0) = (0) 8 = 8. So, the verte is (0, 8). Step 5 Draw a parabola through the verte and the points where the -intercepts occur. (0, 8) f() = 8 The domain is all real numbers. The range is 8. Monitoring Progress Help in English and Spanish at BigIdeasMath.com Graph the quadratic function.
