Understanding Quadratic Function Range

A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree two, generally represented as $$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$$ , where $$a$$ , $$b$$ , and $$c$$ are constants and $a \neq 0$ . The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. The range of a quadratic function is the set of all possible output values (y-values). For $$a > 0$$ , the parabola opens upwards, and the range is from the vertex's y-coordinate to positive infinity. For $$a < 0$$ , it opens downwards, and the range is from negative infinity to the vertex's y-coordinate. This calculator helps you find this range by calculating the vertex and determining the direction of the parabola.
