            Intro Chapter 8: Graphing Quadratic Functions

This is the second of three chapters about polynomials and quadratics.  In the previous chapter, you factored polynomials and used the Zero-Product Property to solve polynomial equations, many of which were quadratic equations.  In this chapter, you will learn to graph quadratic functions.

            8.1 Graphing f(x) = ax²

• I can identify characteristics of quadratic functions and their graphs.
• I can graph quadratic functions of the form f(x) = ax².
• I can compare the graph of f(x) = ax² to the graph of the parent quadratic function f(x) = x².

            8.2 Graphing ax² + c

• I can graph quadratic functions of the form f(x) = ax² + c.
• I can compare the graph of f(x) = ax² + c to the graph of the parent quadratic function.
• I can describe translations of the graph of f(x) = ax² + c.
• I can find zeros of f(x) = ax² + c.

            8.3 Graphing ax² + bx +c

• I can find the axis of symmetry and vertex of a quadratic function.
• I can graph quadratic functions of the form f(x) = ax² + bx + c.
• I can determine a maximum or minimum value of a quadratic function.
