Today you are going to learn about "Quadratic relations".
You might see the AOS term in questions it means Axis Of Symmetry.
Example 2: y=x +2x+2
y=ax +bx+c

And that dashed line is called "Axis of symmetry".The axis of symmetry of a parabola is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two equal halves.
A quadratic relation is an expression of the form y=ax^2+bx+c , a≠0 and this curved line is called "Parabola". Parabola is the graph of a quadratic relation.
x y
Let's say we have to zeros and one zeros is "a" and the other one is "b". Equation of the axis of symmetry: a+b/2
y= a(x-r) (x-s)
y=ax +bx+c

As you see these 2 red points show where the parabola crosses the x-axis. Those points are called "Zeros, roots or x-intercepts".
And the blue point is the y-intercept. Y-intercept is where the parabola crosses the y-axis. And that means when the x=0 we can find the y-intercept.
Equation of the axis of symmetry is also the x value of the vertex. We show like "x= 3".
Example: y= (x-4) (x+2)
These yellow points are called "vertex". The vertex of a parabola is the point where the axis of symmetry and the parabola intersect each other.
It is the point where the parabola is at it's maximum and minimum value.
Example 1: y=x +2x+1
Example 2: y=-x +2x+2
1) y=ax +bx+c

First equation is the standard form of the quadratic relation as you see the greatest exponent 2 is exponent of x. The degree of the standard form is 2.
Let's use the table of values to graph this 2 equations and see the differences.
Example 1: y=x +2x+1

Now let's find the 1st and 2nd differences.
x
-3 4
-2 1
-1 0
0 1
1 4
y
As you see when the second differences are the same but 0 relation is quadratic.
Example 1: y=x +2x+1

-1 2

1st 2nd
When you look at the 2 parabolas what do you see?If you look at the directions of parabolas and coefficients of x^2s when the coefficient of x^2 positive (+) the parabola opens up and coefficient of x^2 negative (-) the parabola opens down.

-1 0
0 2
2 0
0.5 2.25
1 2
This is the factored form of the quadratic relation. "a" is the same with coefficient of x^2 "a" in the standard form as we have learned coefficient of x^2 defines the direction of the parabola.
"r" and "s" represent the zeros of the parabola. Let's look at an example.
y= a(x-r) (x-s)
Equation of AOS: x=1 and it is also the x value of the vertex.Y- intercept: x=0, y=(-4) (2)= -8The vertex: x=1, y=(-3) (3)= -9(y value of he vertex), (1,-9)
We can find the zeros by using the factored from.The zeros are 4 and -2. As we have learned we can find the AOS 4+ (-2)/2= 1.
