Week 9 – pre-calc 11 – matching graphs to functions

This week in math we learnt how to match a graph to a quadratic function, and vice versa.

To match a graph to a function, I first map out all of the info mentioned in my previous post, such as vertex, intercepts, opening, etc…

Then, I insert all of my information into the general form of graphing:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

Then find out the function. Or vice versa, putting all of my info onto a graph.

My biggest mistake this week, or more so difficulty, is finding three points for the parabola. I can find the vertex, but it was difficult for me to find the y and x axis.
