Pasadena, California, includes a
fireworks display set to music.
If a rocket (firework) is launched
with an initial velocity of
39.2 meters per second at a height
of 1.6 meters above the ground,
the equation h = —4.91? +
39.2 + 1.6 represents the rocket’s

Graph Quadratic Functions The function describing the height of the
rocket is an example of a quadratic function, A quadratic function can be
written in the form y = ax? + bx + ¢, where a # 0. This form of equation is
called standard form. The graph of a quadratic function is called a parabola.

Use a table of values to graph y = 2x? — 4x — 5. What are the domain
and range of this function?
Graph these ordered
pairs and connect them
with a smooth curve.
Because 2x? — 4x — 5 can
be evaluated for all real
numbers x, the domain is
the set of all real numbers.
The range is all real numbers
