Lesson 20: Graphing Quadratic Functions

Opening Exercise

1. The science class created a ball launcher that could accommodate a heavy ball. They moved the launcher to the roof of a 23-story building and launched an 8.8-pound shot put straight up into the air. (Note: Olympic and high school women use the 8.8-pound shot put in track and field competitions.) The motion is described by the function ℎ(𝑡𝑡) = −16𝑡𝑡2 + 32𝑡𝑡 + 240, where ℎ(𝑡𝑡) represents the height, in feet, of the shot put above the ground with respect to time 𝑡𝑡 in seconds. (Important: No one was harmed during this experiment!)

A. Graph the function, and identify the key features of the graph.

B. After how many seconds does the shot put hit the

ground?

C. What is the maximum height of the shot put?

D. What is the value of ℎ(0), and what does it mean for this problem?

3. Discussion What information did you use to match the graph to its equation?

4. Solve the following equation.

𝑥𝑥2 + 6𝑥𝑥 − 40 = 0

5. Consider the equation 𝑦𝑦 = 𝑥𝑥2 + 6𝑥𝑥 − 40.

A. Given this quadratic equation, find the point(s) where the graph crosses the 𝑥𝑥-axis.

B. Earlier in this unit, we learned about the symmetrical nature of the graph of a quadratic function. How can we use that information to find the vertex for the graph?

C. How could we find the 𝑦𝑦-intercept (where the graph crosses the 𝑦𝑦-axis and where 𝑥𝑥 = 0)?

D. What else can we say about the graph based on our knowledge of the symmetrical nature of the graph of a quadratic function? Can we determine the coordinates of any other points?

E. Plot the points you know for this equation on the grid above, and connect them to show the graph of the equation.

Lesson Summary

� When we have a quadratic function in factored form, we can find its 𝑥𝑥-intercepts, 𝑦𝑦-intercept, axis of symmetry, and vertex.

� For any quadratic equation, the roots are the solution(s) where 𝑦𝑦 = 0, and these solutions correspond to the points where the graph of the equation crosses the 𝑥𝑥-axis.

� A quadratic equation can be written in the form 𝑦𝑦 = 𝑎𝑎(𝑥𝑥 −𝑚𝑚)(𝑥𝑥 − 𝑛𝑛), where 𝑚𝑚 and 𝑛𝑛 are the roots of the function. Since the 𝑥𝑥-value of the vertex is the average of the 𝑥𝑥-values of the two roots, we can substitute that value back into the equation to find the 𝑦𝑦-value of the vertex. If we set 𝑥𝑥 = 0, we can find the 𝑦𝑦-intercept.
