Instructions and help about Graphing Quadratic Functions In Standard Form Team Tapia

4.1 graph quadratic functions in standard form I've gotta say that this comic is a little bit appropriate for the lesson today some of what I'm going to say is just not gonna make total sense right now we're gonna work through it in class and this whole chapter is about quadratics and we have a lot more to say about it a quadratic function is a function that can be written as y equals a x squared plus BX plus C a cannot equal 0 in this case because then it would just be a linear function and we call this a graph of a parabola and this is a graph of a parabola the parent function in the most simplest form we have Y or f of x equals x squared and this is the graph of y equals x squared right here and the vertex which in this case is the lowest point on the graph is just at 0 0 and our axis of symmetry is just at x equals 0 because this is a line x equals 0 we call that our axis of symmetry so let's start by graphing y equals one-half x squared much like when we were doing our absolute va
