Key concepts
3 concepts
- 1
The x-intercepts of a quadratic function can be found in a table of values by looking for when the y-value is 0.
- 2
The y-intercept of a quadratic function can be found in a table of values by looking for when the x-value is 0.
- 3
To graph a quadratic from a table, plot the x-intercepts and y-intercept, then sketch a U-shaped graph through the points.
