Quadratic Equations: Graphing Quadratic Functions

Graph the quadratic function y = x^2

• Graph the linear function y = x instead of a quadratic function

• Graph the quadratic function y = x^2 by plotting points such as (-2, 4), (-1, 1), (0, 0), (1, 1), and (2, 4), then connect them to form a parabolic curve.

• Graph the exponential function y = 2^x instead of a quadratic function

• Graph the quadratic function y = x^3 instead of y = x^2

Identify the vertex of the quadratic function y = -2x^2 + 4x - 1

• (2, 2)

• (0, -1)

• (3, 5)

• (1, 1)

Determine the axis of symmetry for the quadratic function y = 3x^2 - 6x + 2

• x = 0

• x = 2

• x = -1

• x = 1

Plot the graph of the quadratic function y = -0.5x^2 + 3x - 4

• The correct answer is a detailed explanation of how to plot the graph of the quadratic function y = -0.5x^2 + 3x - 4.

• Graph the function as a straight line
