1. 3.2 Quadratic Functions & Graphs

2. Quiz Write out the general form of a quadratic equation.
f(x) = _____________

3. Quadratic Function Parabola Quadratic Function f(x) = ax2 + bx + c
General Form
Parabola
f(x) = ax2 + bx + c
(a ≠ 0)
Standard( tranformation) Form
f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k

4. Complete the Square x2 + 2px + p2 = (x + p)2 x2 - 2px + p2 = (x - p)2
General Form
f(x) = ax2 + bx + c
Standard Form
f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k
x2 + 2px + p2 = (x + p)2
x2 - 2px + p2 = (x - p)2

5. Complete the Square
Example: Given f(x) = 2x2 - 8x + 1, complete the square to put it into the form f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k.
How about f(x) = x2 - 3x + 1?

6. The Graph of a Quadratic
Maximum point
Vertex y y x x
Minimum point
Vertex
Axis of symmetry
x = h
Axis of symmetry
x = h

7. Find vertex of a parabola
Transformation form: f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k
Vertex : ( h, k ) Axis of symmetry: x = h
Transformation form: f(x) = ax2 + bx + c
Vertex : ( - b/2a, f(- b/2a) ) Axis of symmetry: x = -b/2a

8. Graphing parabolas Determine if the graph opens up or down
Determine the vertex ( h, k )
Find the y – intercept
Plot the vertex and at least 2 additional points on one side of the vertex
Use symmetry finish the other half
Example: f(x) = 2x2 + x - 3

9. Application f(x) = a ( x – h )2 + k 5 10 8 3
Write the equation of the parabola with vertex at (8, 3) passing through (10, 5).
f(x) = a ( x – h )2 + k 5 10 8 3

10. Height of a Projected Object
If air resistance is neglected, the height s ( in feet ) of an object projected directly upward from an initial height s0 feet with initial velocity v0 feet per second is
s (t) = -16t2 + v0t + s0,
where t is the number of seconds after the object is projected.

11. Application
A ball is thrown directly upward from an initial height of 100 feet with an initial velocity of 80 feet per second.
Give the function that describes the height of the ball in terms of time t.
Graph this function so that the y-intercept, the positive x- intercept, and the vertex are visible.
If the point (4.8, ) lies on the graph of the function. What does this mean for this particular situation?
After how many seconds does the projectile reach its maximum height? What is the maximum height? Solve analytically and graphically.
For what interval of time is the height of the ball greater than 160 feet? Determine the answer graphically.
After how many seconds will the ball fall to the ground? Determine the answer graphically.
