A family of graphs is a group of graphs
that displays one or more similar
characteristics. The graph of y = x2 is
called the parent graph of the family of
quadratic functions.
• Analyze quadratic
functions of the form
y = a (x – h)2 + k.
• Write a quadratic
function in the form
y = a(x – 1)2 + k.
y = y2 + 2

The graphs of other quadratic
functions such as y = x2 + 2 and
y = (x – 3)2 can be found by
transforming the graph of y = x2.

Analyze Quadratic Functions Each
function above can be written in the
form y = (x – h)2 + k, where (h, k) is
the vertex of the parabola and x = h is
its axis of symmetry. This is often
referred to as the vertex form of a
quadratic function.
Equation
y = x2 or
y = (x – 0)2 + 0
y = x2 + 2 or
y = (x – 02+2
y = (x – 3)2 or
y = (x – 3)2 + 0

Recall that a translation slides a figure
without changing its shape or size. As the values of h and k change, the
graph of y = a(x – h)2 + k is the graph of y = x2 translated:
• Th| units left if h is negative or h| units right if his positive, and
• |k|units up if k is positive or|k| units down if k is negative.
EXAMPLE Graph a Quadratic Equation in Vertex Form
Analyze y = (x + 2)2 + 1. Then draw its graph.
This function can be rewritten as y = [x – (-2)]2 + 1. Then h = -2
and k = 1. The vertex is at (h, k) or (-2, 1), and the axis of symmetry
is x = -2. The graph is the graph of y = x2 translated 2 units left and
1 unit up.

quadratic inequality
Suppose the height h(t) in feet of a
trampolinist above the ground
during one bounce is modeled by
the quadratic function
h(t) = –16t+ 42+ + 3.75. We can
solve a quadratic inequality to
determine how long this performer
is more than a certain distance above
the ground.
Graph Quadratic Inequalities You can graph quadratic inequalities in
two variables using the same techniques you used to graph linear
inequalities in two variables.
Step 1 Graph the related quadratic
function, y = ax2 + bx + c. Decide
if the parabola should be solid
or dashed.
