suggest an activity to show that graph of a quadratic polynomial is parabola
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Activity 1
To find zeroes of a quadratic polynomials graphically.
Aim
To draw the graph of the quadratic polynomial and observe.
i) Shape of the curve when coefficient of
x2
is positive.
ii) Shape of the curve when coefficient of
x2
is negative.
iii) Its number of zeroes.
Materials Required
Graph sheets and maths kit.
Procedure
1. Consider the following quadratic polynomial
p(x)
of the form,
ax2+bx+c
Case I
p(x)=x2+2x+1(a>0)
Case II
p(x)=x2+1−(a>0)
Case III
p(x)=4−x2(a<0)
2. Find ordered pairs for different values of
x
for the three cases and plot them.
3. Join the plotted points by a free hand curve.
I:
x2+2x+1
x
0 1 -1 2 -2 -3
y
1 4 0 9 1 4
Case II:
x2+1
x
0 -1 1 2 -2
y
1 2 2 5 5
Case III:
4−x2
x
0 1 -1 2 -2
y
4 3 3 0 0

Parabola Downward (2, 0) & (-2, 0) -2, 2 2
Conclusion
1. The shape of the curve obtained by drawing the graph of a quadratic polynomial is a parabola.
2. When coefficient of
x2
is positive
(a>0)
. The parabola open upwards.
3. When coefficient of
x2
is negative
(a<0)
. The parabola opens downwards.
4. A polynomial of degree 2 is a quadratic polynomial has at most 2 zeroes.
