Algebra 17.12.7 Lesson Summary

Search for key terms or text.

In this lesson, you learned how to:

  • Explain how the aa and cc in ax2+bx+cax2+bx+c affect the graph of the equation.
  • Explain how graphs, tables, and equations that represent the same quadratic function are related.

Here are the activities that helped you reach those goals:

  • 7.12.1: Using Coefficients and Constant Terms to Identify Graphs of Linear Equations
    • In this activity, you matched three linear equations with their graphs by comparing slopes and yy-intercepts.
  • 7.12.2: Transformations with Quadratic Functions
    • In this activity, you explored how transformations affect the graphs of quadratic functions.
    • 7.12.2: Self Check
    • 7.12.2: Additional Resources
  • 7.12.3: Understanding the Behaviors of a Graph in Relation to Its Quadratic Expression
    • In this activity, you examined the values in tables and how the values from a quadratic expression affect its graph.
    • 7.12.3: Self Check
    • 7.12.3: Additional Resources
  • 7.12.4: Representations of Quadratic Functions
    • In this activity, you used the standard form and factored form of quadratic functions as well as their graphs to identify intercepts to match the equivalent forms and their graphs.
    • 7.12.4: Self Check
    • 7.12.4: Additional Resources
  • 7.12.5: Identifying Graphs of Quadratic Equations
    • In this activity, you matched the graphs of quadratic functions with their equations.

After these activities, you completed the following practice:
