CBSE Class 10 Maths Lab Activity - Draw Quadratic Polynomial and Observe (#class10Maths)(#Class10MathsActivity)

OBJECTIVE: To draw the graph of a quadratic polynomial and observe.

(i) The shape of the curve when the coefficient of x² is positive.

(ii) The shape of the curve when the coefficient of x² is negative.

(iii) Its number of zeroes.


MATERIAL REQUIRED

Cardboard, graph paper, ruler, pencil, eraser, pen, adhesive.


STEPS OF CONSTRUCTION

1. Take cardboard of a convenient size and paste a graph paper on it. 

2. Consider a quadratic polynomial f(x) = ax² + bx + c

3. Two cases arise:

(i) a > 0 (ii) a < 0

4. Find the ordered pairs (x, f (x)) for different values of x.

5. Plot these ordered pairs in the cartesian plane

6. Join the plotted points by a free hand curve. Based on polynomial used, you may have graphs as shown in following figures:



DEMONSTRATION

1. The shape of the curve obtained in each case is a parabola.

2. Parabola opens upward when coefficient of x² is positive.

3. It opens downward when coefficient of x² is negative. 

4. Maximum number of zeroes which a quadratic polynomial can have is 2.
