Defining Quadratic Functions & their Graphical Attributes

In this lesson I define Quadratic Functions in the form of y=ax^2+bx+c, identify the vertex, and graph a parabola using a t-table. I also discuss the definition of a Polynomial and Degree. We then identify Increasing and Decreasing Intervals, Domain and Range, End Behavior, and Absolute Maximum and Absolute Minimum Graphing a Parabola with a t-table at 14:40 Identifying Graphical Attributes at 24:56 Some of my other lessons involving Parabolas Graphing Parabolas in Standard Form    • Graphing Parabolas in Standard Form   Graphing Parabolas w/ Vertex & Intercepts    • Graphing Parabolas w/ vertex & interc...   Parabola Applications Maximizing Minimizing Reflectors, etc    • Parabola Applications Maximizing Mini...   Applications of Parabolas in Standard Form    • Applications of Parabolas in Standard...   Optimization Calculus Problems Minimizing Lengths    • Optimization Calculus Problems Minimi...   Negative Exponents and Power of Zero    • Negative Exponents and Power of Zero   Check out www.ProfRobBob.com, there you will find my lessons organized by class/subject and then by topics within each class.
