TRANSCRIPT
If the second difference is positive, the graph opens up and the graph opens down if the second difference is negative.
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line which passes through the vertex.
If the coordinates of the vertex is (h, k), the equation of the axis of symmetry is x = h.
(h, k)
(h, k)
x = h
x = h3.2 Properties of Quadratic Relations
y = ax2+bx+c a > 0
y = ax2+bx+c a < 0
The y-coordinate of the vertex is called the optimum value of the relation.
(h, k)
(h, k)
y = k
The optimum value is called a minimum if the parabola opens up and a maximum if the parabola opens down.
The axis of symmetry is the perpendicular bisector of any horizontal line segment joining two points on the parabola.
If the parabola crosses the x-axis, the x-coordinates are called the zeros or x-intercepts.
Determine the following:
a) the coordinates of the vertex
c) the equation of the axis of symmetry.
b) the optimum value
d) the zeros of the relation.(2, – 4)
