U3L1: Quadratic Functions & Models
Objective:
I can graph and model quadratic functions by using
the vertex formula and completing the square.
Polynomial Function

● Def. degree:
● Def. leading coefficient:

● an , an–1, an–2, …, a1, ao


● f(x) = 0 ⇒ “zero polynomial”
Quadratic Function
● Def. quadratic function
● Standard Form

f(x) = ax2 + bx + c

● Graph of a quadratic function ⇒ “parabola”


Quadratic Function & Parabolas
f(x) = x2 a b
simplest quadratic:
a = 1, b = 0, & c = 0
d
x f(x)

-1 1

0 0

1 1 c
2 4
Desmos: f(x) = ax2
See what happens when…

● a < 0 ⇒ a is negative
● 0 < a < 1 ⇒ a is a number between zero & one
Vertex Form

f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k

See how a, h, and k change the graph of f(x) = x2

● a
● h
● k
Graphing Quadratics
● Plotting points → create an x-y table
● Completing the Square → change to vertex form
● *Factoring → find the zeros & the vertex

* Not “nice” if zeros are not integers

Graphing Quadratics:
Completing the Square
Practice:
f(x) = x2 – 4x + 4 f(x) = 2x2 + x – 6

Also, find the vertex, axis of symmetry, x-intercept(s),


& decide if the graph is “wide” or “narrow”.
Graphing Quadratics:
Completing the Square
f(x) = ax2 ± bx + c ⇔ f(x) = a(x ± h)2 + k

Graph Characteristics:

● h=

● k= ⇒ f(h) = f( )=k
Gravity: Modeling - “throwing a ball”
s(t) = -16t2 + v0t – s0

● (t,s) ⇒ t = time (sec); s = height (ft)


● -16 ≈ gravitational constant (ft/sec2) ÷ 2

s = 32.2 f

therefore…
g = 9.8 m 2

Gravity: Modeling - “throwing a ball”

A ball is thrown directly upward from an initial


height of 75 ft with an initial velocity of 112 ft/sec.

● When does the ball reach its max height?

● What is the max height?
