Purplemath: Graphing Quadratic Functions: Introduction

Curated by ACT

The most basic quadratic is y = x2. The general technique for graphing quadratics is the same as for graphing linear equations. The quadratics graph as curvy lines (called "parabolas"), rather than the straight lines generated by linear equations. This resource is an introduction to the basic terms and techniques for graphing quadratic functions. It warns against common student errors also.
