Concepts/Vocabulary
100

Draw a quadratic graph with a maxima

Vertex at the top

100

Draw a Quadratic Graph with two x-intercepts

The Quadratic Graph will have both sides go through the x-axis

100

The Axis of Symmetry goes through which point in a Quadratic Graph?

The Vertex

200

Draw a quadratic graph with a minima

Vertex is at the bottom

200

Draw a Quadratic Graph with 1 x-intercept

This graph should have the vertex also be the x-intercept (it only touches the graph once)

200

What type of line do you use to show the axis of symmetry in a quadratic graph?

Dashed line

300

Draw a Quadratic Graph with a maxima that is in quadrant 1 or 2

Vertex on top half of grid and arrows pointing down

300

Draw a quadratic that has a minima and has a y-intercept between the vertex and the x-intercept

This is a graph where the graph goes through the y-axis as it is going up from the vertex before it gets to the x-intercept

300

Which number gives you the y-intercept in standard from of a quadratic?  ax2 + bx + c

c

400

Draw a Quadratic graph with a minima in quadrant 3 or 4

Vertex on bottom half of grid and arrows pointing up

400

Draw a quadratic that does not have any x-intercepts and is a minima

This is one that points up and the vertex is above the x-axis

400

Which number lefts you know if the graph is pointing up (minima) or pointing down (maxima)?  ax2 + bx + c

a


500

Draw a Quadratic Graph that has the vertex not in any of the 4 quadrants in the grid

The vertex is at (0,0)

500

Draw a quadratic that has a maxima and has a y-intercept between the vertex and the x-intercept

This is a graph where the graph goes through the y-axis as it is going down from the vertex before it gets to the x-intercept

500

What are the 3 different amounts of x-intercepts you can have with a Quadratic Graph?

0, 1, or 2 x-intercepts
