We've seen linear and exponential functions, and now we're ready for quadratic functions. We'll explore how these functions and the parabolas they produce can be used to solve real-world …

The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola, which is a "u"-shaped curve. In this article, we review how to graph quadratic functions.

Unlike the graphs of linear functions, the graphs of quadratic functions are nonlinear: they don't look like straight lines. Specifically, the graphs of quadratic functions are called parabolas.

Learn how to graph any quadratic function that is given in standard form. Here, Sal graphs y=5x²-20x+15. Created by Sal Khan.

Learn how to graph any quadratic function that is given in vertex form. Here, Sal graphs y=-2 (x-2)²+5. Created by Sal Khan.

Graph quadratic functions given in the standard form ax²+bx+c. For example, graph y=5x²-20x+15.

This topic covers: - Solving quadratic equations - Graphing quadratic functions - Features of quadratic functions - Quadratic equations/functions word problems - Systems of quadratic …

Graph quadratic functions that are given in the vertex form a (x+b)²+c. For example, graph y=-2 (x-2)²+5.

We can think graphs of absolute value and quadratic functions as transformations of the parent functions |x| and x². Importantly, we can extend this idea to include transformations of any …

Graphs of quadratic functions all have the same shape which we call "parabola." All parabolas have shared characteristics. For example, they are all symmetric about a line that passes …
