Key Features of Quadratic Functions

• Axis of symmetry

• Vertex: minimum or maximum

• Intercepts: x and y

• Intervals: increasing and decreasing

• Domain and range

• Rate of change given x-values

Determine the following:

Domain: all the x-values

-> always (- ∞, ∞) for non-story problems

Range: all the y-values

-> need the y-value of the vertex

-> [4, ∞)

Increasing Intervals

• Find the AoS and decide which side goes uphill (from L to R)

• Find the x-value of the vertex

• Is this the end or the start of the interval?

• It will either be (- ∞, #) or (#, ∞)

• Increasing: (1, ∞)

Decreasing Intervals

• Find the AoS and decide which side goes downhill (from L to R)

• Find the x-value of the vertex

• Is this the end or the start of the interval?

• It will either be (- ∞, #) or (#, ∞)

• Decreasing: (- ∞, 1)

Intercepts

• y-intercepts: hit the y-axis

• (0, 0)

• x-intercepts: hit x-axis

• (0, 0) and (1, 0)

Rate of Change (ROC)

• Find the rate of change [1, 2]

• Find the rate between x-values of 1 and 2

• Find points on graph and find the rise and the run

• Rise: 4 Run: 1

• ROC: 4/1 or 4
