Graphing Quadratic Functions
Consider the Quadratic Function f(x)=x22x\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}}=-{x}^{{2}}-{2}{x}
1) Identify the coefficients a, b and c:

a= b= c=
f(x)=x22x\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}}=-{x}^{{2}}-{2}{x}

Clear All Draw: Parabola
2) Does the graph open up or down and why?:

3) Write the Vertical Intercept as an Ordered Pair

4) Write the Vertex as an Ordered Pair

5) Draw the function neatly on the graph using the poly tool by plotting the vertex and vertical intercept.
