In the questions below fill in the blanks with the correct word or phrase. The graph of a quadratic function creates a "U" shaped line called a Parabola. The place where the quadratic function crosses the Y-Axis is called the Y-Intercept. The AOS or Axis of Symmetry directly cuts the parabola in half. In a positive parabola, the vertex the lowest point or called the minimum value. The Vertex and the Axis of Symmetry share the same X-Value In negative parabola, the vertex is the highest point or called the maximum value. The points on a graph where a parabola crosses the X-Axis are called the zeros, or X-Intercepts or Roots. Labeling the quadratic function Students label and identify parts of the parabola based on the image below. There should be five answers for the illustration on the graph.1. Axis of Symmetry2. Vertex3. X-Intercepts Y-Intercepts Vertex X-Intercepts Y-Intercepts X-Intercepts Axis of Symmetry Identify the parts of a parabola and solve the quadratic function. In this problem not only will you be plotting coordinates based on the quadratic function given. Your quadratic function is f(x)=x2-8x+16 a= , b= Axis of Symmetry (-b Vertex=(x,y) a=1, b=-8 4 (4,0) Follow up. Y-Intercepts and X-Intercepts for f(x)=x2-8x+16. Follow up question. If the quadratic function is still f(x)=x2-8x+16 what are the Y-Intercepts and X-Intercepts? X-Intercepts Y-Intercepts= (x,y) (4,0) (0,16) Graphing the Quadratic Functions: f(x)=-x2-6x+9 Graph and Label the following function using the box shape tools to label your coordinates.
