MAT 150 – AlgebraClass #8 Topics: Standard and Vertex form of a Quadratic Function Finding Key Features of a Quadratic algebraically and graphically. Graphing Quadratics
Several key features can be determined from the standard form: • Concavity • Vertex (minimum or maximum) • Axis of Symmetry • y-intercepts • X-intercepts • ALL QUADRATICS ARE A PARABOLA! Standard Form of a Quadratic Equation
If a > 0, the parabola is concave up. If a < 0, the parabola is concave down. Determining Concavity
Suppose the monthly revenue from the sale of Carlson 42-inch 3D televisions is given by the function dollars, where x is the number of televisions sold. • How many televisions must be sold to make a maximum amount of revenue? • What is the maximum amount of revenue to be made? • For how many televisions would the monthly revenue be increasing? Using the Vertex in a Real-Life Situation
Steps • Find the vertex • Make a table of values centered around the vertex. (At least 5 points) • Graph on a coordinate plane. Graph the following: Graphing Quadratic Functions
A ball is thrown upward at 64 ft per second from the top of an 80-foot-high building given by the function . • How high does the ball go? • How long did it take to reach the maximum height? • When will the ball hit the ground? • How high is the ball when it is first thrown? • How long will it take the ball to reach a height of 130ft? Putting it all together
