• A quadratic function is a function that can be written in the standard form, where a≠0.
f(x) = ax2 + bx + cQuadratic term Linear term Constant term
Example 1 Classifying Functions

Determine whether each function is linear or quadratic. Identify the quadratic, linear, and constant terms.
The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola.
The axis of symmetry is
the line that divides a parabola into two parts that are mirror images.
The vertex of a parabola is the point at which the parabola intersects the axis of symmetry.

h
y = x2 -4x + 4 y = (x – 2)2
y = x2 +6x + 8 y = (x +3)2 - 1

In other words …
To translate the graph of a quadratic function, you can use the vertex form of a quadratic function.
Properties
The graph of y = a(x – h)2 + k is the graph of y = ax2 translated h units horizontally and k units vertically.
• When h is positive the graph shifts right; when h is negative the graph shifts left.
• When k is positive the graph shifts up; when the k is negative the graph shifts down.
• The vertex is (h,k) and the axis of symmetry is the line x=h.

Example 3 Real World Connection
• The photo shows the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York, which has the longest span of any suspension bridge in the US. A suspension cable of the bridge forma a curve that resembles a parabola. The curve can be modeled with the function y = 0.0001432(x-2130)2 where x and y are measured in feet. The origin of the function’s graph is at the base of one of the two towers that support the cable. How far apart are the towers? How high are they?
• Start by drawing a diagram.
• The function, y = 0.0001432(x-2130)2 , is in vertex form. Since h =2130 and k =0, the vertex is (2130,0). The vertex is halfway between the towers, so the distance between the towers is 2(2130) ft = 4260 ft.
• To find the tower’s height, find y for x=0.
