Unit 7: Quadratic Functions Review

Graphing Quadratics

At the end of the lesson, student should be able to:

• Review the characteristics of Quadratic Functions.

• Graph quadratic Functions using Desmos Calculator.

• Solve for the zeros of quadratic functions.

​WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO

​Write down key information about graphing quadratics.

​You should be able to use your notes to summarize the process for graphing a quadratic function.

Next you will be asked to try a few things on your own.

Make sure you have given the video​ the appropriate attention so that you can be successful.

There are also helpful explanations included.

We will complete an activity when I see you.

Zeros of Quadratic Equations

Graphing and finding the Zeroes Quadratic Functions Lesson

Zeroes of Quadratic Equations

Where the graph HITS the X-AXIS

Fill in the Blanks

What are the zeroes (roots) of the following quadratic equation?

If there is only an equation given, type the equation into the calculator and look at the graph

Look to see where the graph hits the x-axis

Multiple Choice

They can also be called ZEROS

However, y-intercepts do not have any other names.

Finding x-intercepts

• Graph- Look to see were the graph crosses the x-axis

• Table- Find a value where y=0 (opposite)
