The objective of this study is to present the Quadratic Function in a new graphic perspective. The Quadratic Function content is taught in the ninth year of elementary school and rst year of high school, the following concepts are learned: equations and inequalities involving polynomials of second degree, graphing, concavity, zeros of the quadratic function, the parable vertex, minimum or maximum and applications in other elds of knowledge. Two mathematical softwares, Winplot and Geogebra, were used in order to facilitate the understanding of graphic representations of functions. The parable was discussed from a historical point of view that also included the concept of speci c terms and de nitions involving functions. The concept of tangent lines to growth and decrease of functions was related. The parable was also exhibited in the context of Analytic Geometry and Calculus, emphasizing the in uence of each coe cient in relation to the graph. The parable was studied as one of the conic sections so studied by Apollonius. Some applications of the parable in daily life, physics and modeling problems were cited.
