Intermediate AlgebraChapter 11 • Quadratic Equations
Willa Cather –U.S. novelist • “Art, it seems to me, should simplify. That indeed, is very nearly the whole of the higher artistic process; finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the whole – so that all one has suppressed and cut away is there to the reader’s consciousness as much as if it were in type on the page.
Intermediate Algebra 11.1 • Special Methods
Def: Quadratic Function • General Form • a,b,c,are real numbers and a not equal 0
Solving Quadratic Equation #1 • Factoring • Use zero Factor Theorem • Set = to 0 and factor • Set each factor equal to zero • Solve • Check
Solving Quadratic Equation #2 • Graphing • Solve for y • Graph and look for x intercepts • Can not give exact answers • Can not do complex roots.
Solving Quadratic Equations #3Square Root Property • For any real number c
Procedure • 1. Use LCD and remove fractions • 2. Isolate the squared term • 3. Use the square root property • 4. Determine two roots • 5. Simplify if needed
Dorothy Broude • “Act as if it were impossible to fail.”
Intermediate Algebra 11.1 Gay • Completing • the • Square
Completing the square informal • Make one side of the equation a perfect square and the other side a constant. • Then solve by methods previously used.
Procedure: Completing the Square • 1. If necessary, divide so leading coefficient of squared variable is 1. • 2. Write equation in form • 3. Complete the square by adding the square of half of the linear coefficient to both sides. • 4. Use square root property • 5. Simplify
Objective: • Solve quadratic equations using the technique of completing the square.
Mary Kay Ash • “Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn’t know it so it goes flying anyway.”
Intermediate Algebra 11.2 • The • Quadratic • Formula
Objective of “A” students • Derive • the • Quadratic Formula.
Quadratic Formula • For all a,b, and c that are real numbers and a is not equal to zero
Pearl S. Buck • “All things are possible until they are proved impossible and even the impossible may only be so, as of now.”
Methods for solving quadratic equations. • 1. Factoring • 2. Square Root Principle • 3. Completing the Square • 4. Quadratic Formula
Discriminant • Negative – complex conjugates • Zero – one rational solution (double root) • Positive • Perfect square – 2 rational solutions • Not perfect square – 2 irrational solutions

Harry Truman – American President • “A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.”
Intermediate Algebra 11.4 • Quadratic Inequalities
Intermediate Algebra 11.5-11.6 • Quadratic Functions
Orison Swett Marden • “All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.”
Vertex • The point on a parabola that represents the absolute minimum or absolute maximum – otherwise known as the turning point. • y coordinate determines the range. • (x,y)
Axis of symmetry • The vertical line that goes through the vertex of the parabola. • Equation is x = constant
Objective • Graph, determine domain, range, y intercept, x intercept
Parabola with vertex (h,k) • Standard Form
Find Vertex • x coordinate is • y coordinate is
Graphing Quadratic • 1. Determine if opens up or down • 2. Determine vertex • 3. Determine equation of axis of symmetry • 4. Determine y intercept • 5. Determine point symmetric to y intercept • 6. Determine x intercepts • 7. Graph
