Exploring the Symmetry in Graphs of Quadratic Functions


Description

Students examine quadratic equations in two variables represented graphically on a coordinate plane and recognize the symmetry of the graph. They explore key features of graphs of quadratic functions: y-intercept and x-intercepts, the vertex, the axis of symmetry, increasing and decreasing intervals, negative and positive intervals, and end behavior. They sketch graphs of quadratic functions as a symmetric curve with a highest or lowest point corresponding to its vertex and an axis of symmetry passing through the vertex.
