Systems of Linear and Quadratic Equations

Solving systems of linear quadratic equations

​Aim: SWBAT

• Solve systems of linear quadratic equations and use the quadratic formula

• Find the vertex and points on the graph

Vocab

Quadratic: Involving the second and no higher power of an unknown quantity

Linear: Extending along a straight and narrow line

Vertex: When two or more lines intersect

Linear Equations: Equations that graph as a line. They are equations that which the highest power of the variable is always 1.

Formulas

Linear: y=mx+b

Quadratic: y= ax²+bx+c

example Problem

​Solving graphically steps:

• Identify the linear and quadratic equation in the question. Use formula y= mx+ b for linear and y= ax² + bx + c

• Determine the vertex for the quadratic function

• Create a column where the left has the x-values, , middle has the y-values for the linear equation, and right value has the y-values for the quadratic equation
