Quadratic Graphs and Their Properties A quadratic function is a function that can be written in the form y = ax 2 + bx + c, where a 0. This form is the standard form of a quadratic function. A quadratic function is a type of nonlinear function that models certain situations where the rate of change is not constant. What are some examples? The graph of a quadratic function is a symmetric curve with a highest or lowest point corresponding to a maximum or minimum value (the vertex). The graph is called a parabola. The parabola opens up if a is positive, and down if a is negative. y = x 2 y = -x 2 The solutions for a quadratic equation are the x-intercepts of the graph. The solutions are also called the roots or zeros of the function because they are where y = 0. There can be one real solution, two real solutions, or no real solution, depending on where, or if, the parabola crosses the x-axis. y = x 2 y = x 2 2 y = x 2 + 2 one real solution two real solutions no real solution Page 4 of 14
Axis of Symmetry the line that divides the graph so that either side is a mirror image of the other. The equation for the line is: xx = bb 2222 Vertex the point that is the maximum or minimum value of the graph. Find the x-coordinate and then substitute for x to find y using: xx = bb 2222 You can solve quadratic equations by graphing the function on a graphing calculator to find where the graph intersects the x-axis (the zeros). Use the table on the calculator to find the values of x where y = 0 (the zeros). Practice. a) Find the zeros. b) Find the Axis of Symmetry c) Find the Vertex yy = xx 2 + 5xx + 6 yy = xx 2 xx 12 yy = xx 2 7xx + 10 yy = 2xx 2 8xx 3 yy = 3xx 2 + 6xx + 2 ff(xx) = xx 2 + 2xx 5 Page 5 of 14
Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring The solutions to a quadratic equation are the roots or the zeros. This is where y = 0. Therefore, to solve a quadratic equation, y = ax 2 + bx + c, we set y = 0 and solve for: 0 = ax 2 + bx + c In Unit 10, we learned to factor. To solve a factored quadratic, we find where the product of our factors is zero. The only way that a product can be zero is if at least one of the factors is zero. For example, if xy = 0, then x and/or y must = 0. Examples. Solve the equation. (xx 5)(xx + 1) = 0 xx(xx + 3) = 0 3(xx 4)(xx 8) = 0 (xx + 4) 2 = 0 xx 2 3xx + 54 = 0 3xx 2 + 17xx + 24 = 0 Page 6 of 14
Sometimes, you have to solve for 0 to put the equation in standard form. xx 2 + 11xx = 10 4xx 2 27xx = 40 Practice. Solve the equation. xx 2 + 11xx + 18 = 0 xx 2 + 6xx 9 = 0 6xx 2 2xx = 0 xx 2 + 7xx = 0 2xx 2 5xx 3 = 0 5xx 2 + 7xx = 2 Page 7 of 14
Solving Quadratic Equations Using Square Roots You can solve equations of the form x 2 = k by finding the square roots of each side. For example, the solutions of xx 2 = 81 are ± 81 or ±9. How do you know you can solve using square roots? The equation has an x 2 - term and a constant term, but no x-term. So, you can write your equation in the form x 2 = k and then find the square roots of each side. Examples. What are the solutions to the equations? 3xx 2 75 = 0 mm 2 36 = 0 3xx 2 + 15 = 0 4dd 2 + 16 = 16 Practice. Solve the equations. xx 2 = 25 xx 2 = 49 xx 2 36 = 0 xx 2 81 = 0 xx 2 2 = 14 1 2 xx2 = 50 Page 8 of 14
Solving Quadratic Equations Using the Quadratic Formula Remember: Quadratic equations can have two, one, or no real number solutions. A quadratic equation can never have more than two solutions. Remember: Quadratic equations are solved by setting y = 0. You can find the solution(s) of any quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. If aaxx 22 + bbbb + cc = 00, and aa 0, then xx = bb ± bb22 44aaaa 22aa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivxgflv2gok&list=flpxcywq9qtqzj3cuhw32knq&index=7 The quadratic formula not provide a real number solution if: WHY? aa = 0 or bb 2 4aaaa < 0 Examples.

Curve of Best Fit The relationship between the variables can be determined by creating and analyzing the curve of best fit. The curve of best fit is a curve that has the same number of data elements above and below it and follows the trend of the graph.

Practical Uses of Quadratic Equations Falling Object Model: When something is dropped, you can estimate its distance from the ground using this model: hh = 1111tt 22 + ss h = ending height t = the time (in seconds) that the object falls s = the starting height (in feet) when the object is dropped Examples. How long does it take for an object that is dropped from 300 feet to hit the ground? How long does it take for a free-fall ride at an amusement park to drop 121 feet? The goal of an egg dropping contest is to create a container so that an egg can be dropped 32 feet without breaking. How long will it take to hit the ground? Page 13 of 14
