Quadratic Hard Questions

1. The document contains 9 quadratic word problems involving graphs of quadratic functions, finding maximum/minimum values, determining equations that model real-world situations, and reflecting/transforming graphs. 2. Problem 1 involves determining the equations of two quadratic functions given their intersections and a vertex. Problem 2 involves finding the values of a and b that make two quadratic equations have equal roots. Problem 3 involves finding the price that maximizes profit for a boutique given sales decrease as price increases. 3. The remaining problems involve additional concepts like finding values that make areas or volumes equal, modeling arch tunnels, determining if a relationship is quadratic, reflecting graphs, and transforming graphs to make the resulting function even.
