To find the ke features of the graph of a quadratic polnomial: ais intercepts, turning point and ais of smmetr. To determine the maimum or minimum value of a quadratic function. To solve quadratic equations b factorising, completing the square and using the general formula. To appl the discriminant to determine the nature and number of solutions of a quadratic equation. To appl quadratic functions to solving problems. A polnomial function has a rule of the tpe = a n n + a n 1 n a 1 + a 0 where n is a natural number or zero, and a 0, a 1,..., a n are numbers called coefficients. The degree of a polnomial is given b the value of n, the highest power of with a non-zero coefficient. For eample: = is a polnomial function of degree 1 = is a polnomial function of degree 2. This chapter deals with polnomials of degree 2. These are called quadratic polnomials. The graph of a linear polnomial function, = m + c, is a straight line and the graph of a quadratic polnomial function, = a 2 + b + c, a 0, is a parabola. Polnomials of higher degree will be studied in Chapter 8. Knowledge check See the online test of required knowledge, with links to revision lessons.
2 3A Epanding and collecting like terms 3A Epanding and collecting like terms 81 In order to sketch graphs of quadratics, we need to find the -ais intercepts (if the eist), and to do this we need to solve quadratic equations. As an introduction to the methods of solving quadratic equations, the first two sections of this chapter review the basic algebraic processes of epansion and factorisation. An algebraic epression is the sum of its terms. For eample: The terms of the linear epression 3 1 are 3 and 1. The terms of the quadratic epression are 2 2, 3 and 4. Eample 1 Simplif 2( 5) 3( + 5) b first epanding. Eplanation 2( 5) 3( + 5) = Epand each bracket. Eample 2 = Collect like terms. = 25 Epand 2(3 2) + 3( 2). 2(3 2) + 3( 2) = = For epansions of the tpe (a + b)(c + d), proceed as follows: (a + b)(c + d) = a(c + d) + b(c + d) Eample 3 Epand the following: = ac + ad + bc + bd a ( + 3)(2 3) b ( 3)(2 2 2) a ( + 3)(2 3) = (2 3) + 3(2 3) = = Eplanation Each term in the second pair of brackets is multiplied b each term in the first.
3 82 Chapter 3: Quadratics b ( 3)(2 2 2) = (2 2 2) 3(2 2 2) = = 2 2 ( ) Eample 4 Epand (2 1)( ). (2 1)( ) = 2( ) 1( ) Perfect squares = = Consider the epansion of a perfect square, (a + b) 2 : (a + b) 2 = (a + b)(a + b) = a(a + b) + b(a + b) = a 2 + ab + ab + b 2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2 Thus the general result can be stated as: (a + b) 2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2 Be careful with negative signs. You can also complete binomial epansions with a table; this emphasises the terms You add the terms to complete the epansion. That is, to epand (a + b) 2 take the sum of the squares of the terms and add twice the product of the terms. Eample 5 Epand (3 2) 2. Eplanation (3 2) 2 = (3) 2 + 2(3)( 2) + ( 2) 2 Use the epansion (a + b) 2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2. = Here a = 3 and b = 2.
4 Difference of two squares Consider the epansion of (a + b)(a b): (a + b)(a b) = a(a b) + b(a b) = a 2 ab + ab b 2 = a 2 b 2 Thus the epansion of the difference of two squares has been obtained: (a + b)(a b) = a 2 b 2 Eample 6 3A Epanding and collecting like terms 83 a Epand (2 4)(2 + 4). b Epand ( 2 7)( + 2 7). a (2 4)(2 + 4) = (2) 2 (4) 2 b ( 2 7)( + 2 7) = 2 (2 7) 2 Eample 7 = Epand (2a b + c)(2a b c). (2a b + c)(2a b c) = ( (2a b) + c )( (2a b) c ) Section summar = (2a b) 2 c 2 = 4a 2 4ab + b 2 c 2 A polnomial function has a rule of the tpe = a n n + a n 1 n a 1 + a 0 = 2 28 where n is a natural number or zero, and a 0, a 1,..., a n are numbers called coefficients. The degree of a polnomial is given b the value of n, the highest power of with a non-zero coefficient. A polnomial function of degree 2 is called a quadratic function. The general rule is of the form = a 2 + b + c, where a 0. General binomial epansion: (a + b)(c + d) = a(c + d) + b(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd Perfect square epansion: Difference of two squares epansion: (a + b) 2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2 (a + b)(a b) = a 2 b 2

Factorisation using common factors b 1 cm 1 cm cm cm If each term in an algebraic epression to be factorised contains a common factor, then this common factor is a factor of the entire epression. To find the other factor, divide each term b the common factor. The common factor is placed outside the brackets. This process is known as taking the common factor outside the brackets.

7 86 Chapter 3: Quadratics Grouping of terms This method can be used for epressions containing four terms. Eample 10 Factorise = ( ) (3 + 12) = 2 ( + 4) 3( + 4) = ( 2 3)( + 4) Difference of two squares Eplanation You will recall the following identit from the previous section: (a + b)(a b) = a 2 b 2 We can now use the result the other wa in order to factorise: a 2 b 2 = (a + b)(a b) Eample 11 a Factorise b Factorise The terms in this epression can be grouped as shown. The common factor ( + 4) is taken out of the brackets. Eplanation a = 3( 2 25) First take out the common factor 3. = 3( + 5)( 5) Use the difference of squares identit. b = 9( 2 4) First take out the common factor 9. Eample 12 Factorise ( ) = 9( 2)( + 2) Use the difference of squares identit. ( ) = ( ) 2 (4) 2 = ( + 4)( 4) = ( + 3)( 5) Eplanation Use the difference of squares identit a 2 b 2 = (a + b)(a b) with a = ( ) and b = 4.
8 Factorising quadratic polnomials 3B Factorising 87 A quadratic polnomial is an epression of the form a 2 + b + c with a 0. We have seen in the previous section that we can epand a product of two binomial factors to obtain a quadratic epression. For eample: ( + 2)( 4) = ( 4) + 2( 4) = = We want to be able to reverse this process. That is, we want to start from the epanded epression and obtain the factorised form. We have alread done this for epressions that are differences of squares. We now turn our attention to the general case. Eample 13 Factorise Using the method described in the eplanation opposite, we can factorise without an further setting out: = ( 4)( + 2) Alternativel, we can reverse the process we used for epanding: = = ( 4) + 2( 4) = ( 4)( + 2) Eplanation We want = ( + a)( + b) = 2 + (a + b) + ab The values of a and b are such that ab = 8 and a + b = 2. Values of a and b which satisf these two conditions are a = 4 and b = 2. A quadratic polnomial is called a monic quadratic polnomial if the coefficient of 2 is 1. The quadratic polnomial factorised in the previous eample is monic. Factorising non-monic quadratic polnomials involves a slightl different approach. We need to consider all possible combinations of factors of the 2 term and the constant term. The net eample and the following discussion give two methods. Eample 14 Factorise There are several combinations of factors of 6 2 and 15 to consider. Onl one combination is correct. Factors of 62 Factors of 15 Cross-products add to give = (6 + 5)( 3)
9 88 Chapter 3: Quadratics Here is a second method for factorising which still requires some trial and error but is more sstematic. It is the reverse process of epanding ( 3)(6 + 5). We let a 2 + b + c = (α + γ)(β + δ) Epanding the right-hand side gives a 2 + b + c = αβ 2 + (γβ + αδ) + γδ Note that ac = αβγδ and b = γβ + αδ. We now appl this to factorising First we look for two numbers that multipl together to give ac and add to give b. That is, we look for two numbers whose product is 6 ( 15) = 90 and whose sum is 13. The two numbers are 18 and 5. We write: = Eample 15 Factorise = 6( 3) + 5( 3) = ( 3)(6 + 5) = = 4(2 + 3) 5(2 + 3) = (4 5)(2 + 3) Eplanation Here ac = 8 ( 15) = 120 and b = 2. We look for two numbers whose product is 120 and whose sum is 2. The two numbers are 12 and 10. So we write 2 = It is sometimes possible to take out a common factor first to simplif the factorisation. Eample 16 Factorise = 2( ) = 2( + 5)( 2) Eplanation The common factor 2 is taken out first.

( + 1) 2 2( + 1) 3 = a 2 2a 3 Section summar = (a 3)(a + 1) = ( + 1 3)( ) = ( 2)( + 2) Eplanation Difference of two squares identit: a 2 b 2 = (a + b)(a b). The substitution a = + 1 makes it easier to recognise the required factorisation. Factorisation of monic quadratics: To factorise a quadratic of the form 2 + b + c, find two numbers whose sum is the coefficient of and whose product is the constant term. Factorisation of general quadratics: To factorise a quadratic of the form a 2 + b + c, find two numbers e and f whose product is ac and whose sum is b. Split the middle term b as e + f and then factorise b grouping.

There are three steps to solving a quadratic equation b factorisation: Step 1 Write the equation in the form a 2 + b + c = 0. Step 2 Step 3 Factorise the quadratic epression. Use the result that mn = 0 implies m = 0 or n = 0 (or both); this is known as the null factor theorem. For eample, to solve the equation 2 = 12: 2 = = 0 (Step 1) ( 4)( + 3) = 0 (Step 2) 4 = 0 or + 3 = 0 (Step 3) = 4 or = 3 In the simplest cases, the first two steps ma have been done alread. SF CF

Then 2( + ) = 20 and thus = 10. The area is 24 cm 2 and therefore = (10 ) = 24. i.e = = 0 ( 6)( 4) = 0 Thus the length is 6 cm or 4 cm. The width is 4 cm or 6 cm.

16 3D Graphing quadratics 95 3D Graphing quadratics A quadratic polnomial function is defined b the general rule = a 2 + b + c where a, b and c are constants and a 0. This is called polnomial form. The parabola = 2 The simplest quadratic function is = 2. If a table of values is constructed for = 2 for 3 3, these points can be plotted and then connected to produce a continuous curve Features of the graph of = 2 : The graph is called a parabola. The possible -values are all positive real numbers and 0. (This is called the range of the quadratic and is discussed in a more general contet in Chapter 7.) The graph is smmetrical about the -ais. The line about which the graph is smmetrical is called the ais of smmetr. The graph has a verte or turning point at the origin (0, 0). The minimum value of is 0 and it occurs at the turning point. Transformations of = Ais of smmetr = Verte or turning point B a process called completing the square (to be discussed in Section 3E), all quadratics in polnomial form = a 2 + b + c ma be transposed into what will be called the turning point form: = a( h) 2 + k We first consider the effect of changing the value of a for our basic graph of = 2. We then consider the effect of changing h and k for graphs of the form = a 2. Graphs of the form = a( h) 2 + k are formed b translating the graph of = a 2. The graph of = a( h) 2 + k is eactl the same shape as = a 2. All of these graphs are indeed congruent to = a 2 and each other.
17 96 Chapter 3: Quadratics Graphs of = a 2 We first consider graphs of the form = a 2. In this case both h = 0 and k = 0. In the basic graph of = 2, the value of a is 1. The following graphs are shown on the same set of aes: = 2 = 2 2 (a = 2) = (a = 1 2 ) = 2 2 (a = 2) = 22 = 2 = = 22 If a > 1, the graph is narrower. If 0 < a < 1, the graph is broader. The transformation which produces the graph of = 2 2 from the graph of = 2 is called a dilation of factor 2 from the -ais. When a is negative, the graph is reflected in the -ais. The transformation which produces the graph of = 2 from the graph of = 2 is called a reflection in the -ais. Graphs of = 2 + k On this set of aes are the graphs of = 2 = 2 2 (k = 2) = (k = 1) As can be seen, changing k moves the basic graph of = 2 in a vertical direction = = 2 = 2 2 When k = 2 the graph is translated 2 units in the negative direction of the -ais. The verte is now (0, 2) and the range is now all real numbers greater than or equal to 2. When k = 1 the graph is translated 1 unit in the positive direction of the -ais. The verte is now (0, 1) and the range is now all real numbers greater than or equal to 1. All other features of the graph are unchanged. The ais of smmetr is still the -ais.
18 3D Graphing quadratics 97 Graphs of = ( h) 2 On this set of aes are the graphs of = 2 = ( 2) 2 (h = 2) = ( + 3) 2 (h = 3) As can be seen, changing h moves the graph in a horizontal direction. When h = 2 the graph is translated 2 units in the positive direction of the -ais. The verte is now (2, 0) and the ais of smmetr is now the line = 2. = ( + 3) 2 = 2 = ( 2) When h = 3 the graph is translated 3 units in the negative direction of the -ais. The verte is now ( 3, 0) and the ais of smmetr is now the line = 3. In both cases, the range is unchanged and is still all non-negative real numbers. Eamples of transformations B combining dilations, reflections and translations, we can sketch the graph of an quadratic epressed in the form = a( h) 2 + k: The verte is the point (h, k). The ais of smmetr is = h. If h and k are positive, then the graph of = a( h) 2 + k is obtained from the graph of = a 2 b translating h units in the positive direction of the -ais and k units in the positive direction of the -ais. Similar results hold for different combinations of h and k positive and negative. Eample 21 Sketch the graph of = 2 3. The graph of = 2 3 is obtained from the graph of = 2 b translating 3 units in the negative direction of the -ais. The verte is now at (0, 3). The ais of smmetr is the line with equation = 0. To find the -ais intercepts, let = 0: 0 = = 3 = ± 3 Hence the -ais intercepts are ± = 2 = 2 3
19 98 Chapter 3: Quadratics Eample 22 Sketch the graph of = ( + 1) 2. The graph of = ( + 1) 2 is obtained from the graph of = 2 b a reflection in the -ais followed b a translation of 1 unit in the negative direction of the -ais. The verte is now at ( 1, 0). The ais of smmetr is the line with equation = 1. The -ais intercept is 1. Eample 23 Sketch the graph of = 2( 1) The graph of = 2 2 is translated 1 unit in the positive direction of the -ais and 3 units in the positive direction of the -ais. The verte has coordinates (1, 3). The ais of smmetr is the line = 1. The graph will be narrower than = 2. The range will be 3. To add further detail to our graph, we can find the ais intercepts: -ais intercept When = 0, = 2(0 1) = (1, 3) = 2 = 2 -ais intercepts In this eample, the minimum value of is 3, and so cannot be 0. Therefore this graph has no -ais intercepts. Note: Another wa to see this is to let = 0 and tr to solve for : 0 = 2( 1) = 2( 1) = ( 1)2 As the square root of a negative number is not a real number, this equation has no real solutions.
20 3D Graphing quadratics 99 Eample 24 Sketch the graph of = ( + 1) The verte has coordinates ( 1, 4) and so the ais of smmetr is the line = 1. -ais intercept When = 0, = (0 + 1) = 3 the -ais intercept is 3. -ais intercepts When = 0, ( + 1) = 0 ( + 1) 2 = = ±2 = ±2 1 the -ais intercepts are 1 and 3. Section summar ( 3, 0) ( 1, 4) 0 (0, 3) (1, 0) The graph of = 2 is called a parabola. The verte (or turning point) is the point (0, 0) and the ais of smmetr is the -ais. The graph of = 2 is the reflection of the graph of = 2 in the -ais. For = a 2 and a > 1, the graph is narrower than the graph of = 2. For = a 2 and 0 < a < 1, the graph is broader than the graph of = 2. All quadratic functions in polnomial form = a 2 + b + c ma be transposed into the turning point form = a( h) 2 + k. The graph of = a( h) 2 + k is a parabola congruent to the graph of = a 2. The verte (or turning point) is the point (h, k). The ais of smmetr is = h. If h and k are positive numbers, then the graph of = a( h) 2 + k is obtained from the graph of = a 2 b translating h units in the positive direction of the -ais and k units in the positive direction of the -ais.

This can be done using two different but related methods: b completing the square and b using the equation of the ais of smmetr. Completing the square To transpose a quadratic in polnomial form we can complete the square. Consider the epansion of a perfect square: ( + a) 2 = 2 + 2a + a 2 The last term of the epansion is the square of half the coefficient of the middle term. Now consider the quadratic polnomial This is not a perfect square. However, b adding and subtracting a new term, we can form a perfect square as part of a new epression for the same polnomial. We have that = ( + 1) 2 which is a perfect square. In order to keep our original quadratic intact, we both add and subtract the correct new term. For eample: = ( ) 1 3 = ( + 1) 2 4 SF
22 3E Completing the square and turning points 101 Hence the quadratic = is epressed in turning point form as = ( + 1) 2 4, and so the verte (turning point) of its graph is the point with coordinates ( 1, 4). In the above eample, the coefficient of 2 was 1. If the coefficient is not 1, this coefficient must first be factored out before proceeding to complete the square. A geometric representation of completing the square Completing the square for is represented in the following diagrams. The diagram on the left shows The small rectangle to the right is moved to the base of the b square. The red square of area 1 unit is added.

Sketching the graph of a quadratic polnomial after completing the square Completing the square enables the quadratic rule to be written in turning point form. We have seen that this can be used to sketch the graphs of quadratic polnomials. Eample 26 Find the coordinates of the verte b completing the square and hence sketch the graph of = Take out 2 as a common factor and then complete the square: = = 2( ) ( ( 3 ) 2 ( 3 ) 2 = ) 2 2 (( = 2 3 ) ) ( = 2 3 ) ( 3 Therefore the verte is 2 2), 7 and the ais of smmetr is = 3 2.

Therefore the -coordinate of the turning point is b. Substitute this value into the 2a quadratic polnomial to find the -coordinate of the turning point. Eample 27 Use the ais of smmetr to find the turning point of the graph and hence epress in turning point form: a = b = a The -coordinate of the turning point is 2. When = 2, = = 1. The coordinates of the turning point are (2, 1). Hence the equation is = ( 2) 2 1. b The -coordinate of the turning point is 3. When = 3, = = 11. The coordinates of the turning point are (3, 11). Hence the equation is = 2( 3) Eplanation Here a = 1 and b = 4, so the ais of ( 4 ) smmetr is = = 2. 2 For the turning point form = a( h) 2 + k, we have found that a = 1, h = 2 and k = 1. Here a = 2 and b = 12, so the ais of ( 12 ) smmetr is = = 3. 4 For the turning point form = a( h) 2 + k, we have found that a = 2, h = 3 and k = 11.

There is a general formula for finding the solutions of a quadratic equation in polnomial form. This formula comes from completing the square for the general quadratic. In Section 3E we showed that = a 2 + b + c ( = a + b ) 2 b2 2a 4a + c We can use this to solve the general quadratic equation: a 2 + b + c = 0 ( a + b ) 2 b2 2a 4a + c = 0 ( a + b ) 2 = b2 2a 4a c Now divide both sides b a: ( + b ) 2 = b2 2a 4a c 2 a = b2 4ac 4a 2 + b 2a = ± b 2 4ac 4a 2 = b 2a ± b 2 4ac = b ± b2 4ac 4a 2 2a The solutions of the quadratic equation a 2 + b + c = 0, where a 0, are given b the quadratic formula = b ± b 2 4ac 2a Note: The quadratic formula provides an alternative method for solving quadratic equations to completing the square, but it is probabl not as useful for curve sketching as completing the square, which gives the turning point coordinates directl.

For a parabola = a 2 + b + c, we can use the discriminant = b 2 4ac to determine when each of these three situations occur. If the discriminant b 2 4ac < 0, then the equation a 2 + b + c = 0 has no solutions and the corresponding parabola will have no -ais intercepts.

The discriminant applied to the second equation, a 2 + (b m) + (c 1 c 2 ) = 0, can be used to determine the number of intersection points: If > 0, there are two intersection points. If = 0, there is one intersection point. If < 0, there are no intersection points.

In this section these two ideas are etended for our stud of quadratic polnomials. Families of quadratics Here are some eamples of families of quadratic polnomial functions: = a 2, a 0 The parabolas with their vertices at the origin. = a( 2) 2 + 3, a 0 The parabolas with turning point at (2, 3). = a( 2)( + 5), a 0 The parabolas with -ais intercepts 2 and 5. = a( h)( 2), a 0 The parabolas with -ais intercept 2. = a 2 + b, a 0 and b 0 The parabolas with two -ais intercepts, one of which is the origin. SF CF
43 122 Chapter 3: Quadratics The letters a, b and h used to define these families are called parameters. Varing the values of the parameters produces different parabolas. For eample, for = a 2 + b some possible curves are shown below. Eample 39 = = 2 2 = = = 2 3 A famil of parabolas have rules of the form = a 2 + c. For the parabola in this famil that passes through the points (1, 7) and (2, 10), find the values of a and c. When = 1, = 7 and when = 2, = = a + c (1) 10 = 4a + c (2) Subtract (1) from (2): 3 = 3a and hence a = 1. Substitute in (1): 7 = 1 + c and therefore c = 6. The equation is = Eplanation Substitute = 1, = 7 in the equation = a 2 + c to obtain (1). Substitute = 2, = 10 in the equation = a 2 + c to obtain (2). Eample 40 A famil of parabolas have rules of the form = a 2 + b + 2, where a 0. a For a parabola in this famil with its turning point on the -ais, find a in terms of b. b If the turning point is at (4, 0), find the values of a and b.
44 3K Families of quadratic polnomial functions 123 a The discriminant = b 2 8a. We have = 0 and therefore a = b2 8. b We have b = 4, which implies b = 8a. 2a From part a, we have a = b2 8. Hence a = 64a2 = 8a 2. 8 Thus a(1 8a) = 0 and, since a 0, a = 1 8. Substituting for a in b = 8a gives b = 1. Determining quadratic rules Eplanation The discriminant of a 2 + b + c is = b 2 4ac. In this case c = 2. The discriminant = 0 since the parabola touches the -ais at its turning point. The ais of smmetr has equation = b 2a. At the beginning of this section we looked at different families of quadratic polnomial functions. We now consider three important such families which can be used as a basis for finding a quadratic rule from given information. These are certainl not the onl useful forms. You will see others in the worked eamples. 1 = a( e)( f ) This can be used if two -ais intercepts and the coordinates of one other point are known. 2 = a( h) 2 + k This can be used if the coordinates of the turning point and one other point are known. 3 = a 2 + b + c This can be used if the coordinates of three points on the parabola are known. Eample 41 A parabola has -ais intercepts 3 and 4 and it passes through the point (1, 24). Find the rule for this parabola. = a( + 3)( 4) When = 1, = 24. Therefore 24 = a(1 + 3)(1 4) 24 = 12a a = 2 The rule is = 2( + 3)( 4). Eplanation Two -ais intercepts are given. Therefore use the form = a( e)( f ).
45 124 Chapter 3: Quadratics Eample 42 The coordinates of the turning point of a parabola are (2, 6) and the parabola passes through the point (3, 3). Find the rule for this parabola. = a( 2) When = 3, = 3. Therefore 3 = a(3 2) = a + 6 a = 3 The rule is = 3( 2) Eample 43 Eplanation The coordinates of the turning point and one other point on the parabola are given. Therefore use = a( h) 2 + k. A parabola passes through the points (1, 4), (0, 5) and ( 1, 10). Find the rule for this parabola. = a 2 + b + c When = 1, = 4. When = 0, = 5. When = 1, = = a + b + c (1) 5 = c (2) 10 = a b + c (3) Substitute from equation (2) into equations (1) and (3): 1 = a + b (1 ) 5 = a b (3 ) Add (1 ) and (3 ): 4 = 2a a = 2 Using equation (1 ), we obtain b = 3. The rule is = Eplanation The coordinates of three points on the parabola are given. Therefore substitute values into the polnomial form = a 2 + b + c to obtain three equations in three unknowns.
