Parabolas-Quadratics Bundle

A collection of four worksheets on the following topics

• Graph of the Parabola y=ax^2 : A worksheet on the graph of the parabola y=ax^2. The exercises require to match a set of graphs (of parabolas) to their equations and find the equation of a parabola given its graph and a point on it.
• Graph of a Parabola-Transformations: A worksheet on transforming horizontally or vertically a parabola.
• Quadratic Function of the Form f(x) = ax² + bx + c: A worksheet on quadratic functions of the form f(x) = ax² + bx + c and equations of the form ax² + bx + c=0. The exercises require to use the graph of such functions to determine the sign of the discriminant and the solution or solutions if they exist, find the sign of a, the value of c the range of f, the line of symmetry of the graph and the maximum value of f. In addition, functions or equations of this form with parameters in them are given and the students are required to determine the values of the parameters so that the value has specific solutions, a given line of symmetry, a given number of roots or a given point of intersection with the y-axis.
• Sum and Product of Roots of Quadratics - Viete’s Theorem: A worksheet on sum and product of roots of quadratics. The exercises require to find the sum or product of the roots of a given quadratic equation, evaluate parameters in a given quadratic equation so that its roots have a specific sum or product, find a quadratic equation given its roots, factorise quadratic expressions and simplify algebraic fractions involving quadratic expressions.

Detailed solutions are included.
