Math 2 Quadratic Functions Review

Math 2 Quadratic Functions Review

Forms, traits, and graphical characteristics

The parabola...the parent function is the ORIGINAL, pictured in red dots

• How does the blue one move FROM the parent?

• Write the equation of each, using vertex form.

• We'll check together on GM tab.

What about the roots?

What can we conclude about the x-intercepts (zeros or roots) of the blue function? How can you show this algebraically?

Do you remember the quadratic formula?

Multiple Choice

Which equation best represents the graph?

• y = 2(x - 4)² + 5

• y = 2(x + 4)² + 5

• y = -2(x - 4)² + 5

• y = -2(x + 4)² + 5

Multiple Choice

What are the

x-intercepts of the function

f(x)= (x - 2)(x + 3)?

• x = - 2 or x = 3

• x = 2 or x = -3

• The are no real roots

• x = 2 or x = 3

Multiple Choice

Given f(x) = (x-3)² + 5.  What transformations took place from the original function f(x)?

• Left 3 and up 5
• Right 3 and down 5
• Left 3 and down 5
• Right 3 and up 5

Multiple Choice

Given f(x) = (x-3)² + 5...

What kind of zeros does this function possess?

• 2 real

• 1 real

• none (they are imaginary)

• not enough info

Writing Quadratic Functions

• Pay attention to what you are given

• Zeros? Write factored form.

• Vertex? Write vertex form.

• You can convert to any form from any other form!

Given the zeros?

• Start with factored form.

• This one had to have a maximum, so we had to place a negative out front.

• What is the meaning of "x = -1"?

Multiple Choice

 $y=-\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)$  Convert to standard form:

•  $y=-x^2-2x+4$  

•  $y=-x^2+2x-8$  

•   $y=-x^2-2x+8$  

•  $y=-x^2+2x+8$  

Multiple Choice

 $y=-\left(x+1\right)^2+9$  Convert to standard form:

•  $y=-x^2-2x+4$  

•  $y=-x^2+2x-8$  

•   $y=-x^2-2x+8$  

•  $y=-x^2+2x+8$  

Where did we get the +9 from?

More on that last one...

What is the relationship between the vertex and the axis of symmetry?

And what type of zeros must we assume?

Convert to Vertex Form

• First, vertex form shows the vertex aka how the function SHIFTS from the origin

• Use complete the square to convert from standard form to vertex form

Finding Imaginary Zeros

SAME process as solving a quadratic equation and finding solutions, whether they are real or imaginary.

Finding Imaginary Zeros

If we started (or had converted) in vertex form, the process is potentially easier than the quadratic formula!
