SCAVENGER HUNT QUADRATICS FUNCTIONS IN STANDARD FORM f(x)= ax2

The shape of a quadratic function is called a PARABOLA. It has many
features that are associated with its equation:
1)The vertex of the parabola: The vertex is highest or lowest point (x,y) on
the graph , also called the turning point. If the parabola opens Up the vertex
is called a Minimum, when the parabola opens down the vertex is a
Maximum.
For problems 1-4
Identify the VERTEX. (use red colored pencil)
On the graphs find the highest or lowest point, write its coordinate
(x,y). Write down if the vertex is a maximum or minimum.

On the table of values, look for the y-coordinate that does not repeat
and where other y-coordinates repeat above and below this point.
Place a red colored arrow next to the point and write down Vertex next
to it.

The vertex can also be found from the equation. The x-coordinate is

x
found by using the values of a and b from the equation:
substitute this x into the equation to obtain the y- coordinate.

b
2a

, then

2) The AXIS OF SYMMETRY: is a vertical line through the vertex, where all the
points on the parabola mirror each other from each side. The equation of the

b
2a

line of symmetry is the x-coordinate of the vertex.


For problems 1-4
Identify the Axis of Symmetry (A.O.S). (use blue colored pencil)
On the graph, use a ruler a to draw a dashed vertical line through the
vertex, label the line A.O.S, x= # of x-coordinate ( Ex: if vertex is (4,2)
The A.O.S, x=4)
What do you notice about the points on the graph at the right or left of
A.O.S?
________________________________________________________________________
On the table of values, find the vertex and circle the x-coordinate of
the vertex, label it A.O.S.
On the equation, find the work you did to find the x-coordinate of the
vertex and circle it, label it A.O.S.
3) The x-INTERCEPTS: are the points or point where the parabola crosses the
x-axis( where the y-coordinate equals to zero). A parabola can have one,
two or no real numbers as x-intercepts. It is important to know that other
names for roots are: SOLUTIONS, ROOTS, ZEROS.

On the graph, find the points where the parabola touches the x-axis,
colored and label them with their (x,yI Coordinates.

On the table of values, find the y-coordinates equal to zero, and circle
the x,y coordinates write down zeros next to them.(Hint: Use the table
of values in the calculator if necessary)
***On the equation, we will use algebraic methods on our next lessons
to find the zeros ,x-intercepts, solutions to the equation. In the
meantime, learn how to use the TI-84/CASIO to find the zeros from the
graph.
a)Write down the equation on Y1, then press graph . If necessary,
adjust the graph using Zoom to see where the graph touches the xaxis
b) Press 2 nd - Trace (Calc) - press Option 2 : Zeros

c) Move the spider to left point where the graph touches the xaxis. Left Bound? Move the cursor using
where the y-coordinate shown below
the screen is positive(Above x-axis) press enter, then move the cursor down using
, where the y-coordinate shown below is negative(below the x-axis), press enter .
Then move the spider closer to the root and press enter. Write down the (x,0)
coordinates shown on the screen.
d) If the graph touches twice the x-axis repeat b) above on the
other point. Move the spider to right point where the graph touches the x-axis. Left
Bound? Move the cursor using
where the y-coordinate shown below the
screen is negative(below x-axis) press enter, then move the cursor down using
,
where the y-coordinate shown below is positive(above the x-axis), press enter .
Then move the spider closer to the root and press enter. Write down the (x,0)
coordinates shown on the screen.
4) The Y-INTERCEPT: is the point where the parabola crosses the y-axis( where the
x-coordinate equals to zero). A parabola has one y-intercepts.
For problems 1-4
Identify the Y-INTERCEPT. (use orange colored pencil)
On the graph, find the point where the parabola touches the y-axis,
colored and label them with its (x,y) Coordinates.

On the table of values, find the x-coordinate equal to zero, and circle
the x,y coordinates write down y-intercept next to them.(Hint: Use the
table of values in the calculator if necessary, then write down the point
(0,Y-int)
On the equation, find the C value draw an arrow and label the
point(0,C) y-intercept.
