Example  2:  Suppose  a  quadratic  function  as  a  vertex  of  (-­‐3,-­‐5)  and  contains  the  points  (-­‐4,-­‐3)  and  (-­‐2,3).  Identify  the  equation  for  the  axis  of  symmetry  and  use  it  to  help  you  sketch  a  graph  of  the  function.    Then  identify  the  domain  and  range.          Example  3:  Suppose  a  quadratic  function  as  a  vertex  of  (5,6)  and  contains  the  points  (7,2)  and  (2,-­‐3).  Identify  the  equation  for  the  axis  of  symmetry  and  use  it  to  help  you  sketch  a  graph  of  the  function.    Then  identify  the  domain  and  range.        The  places  where  the  graph  crosses  the  x  -­‐axis  are  called:      Using  Your  Calculator  (LT  3)  In some situations, you want to quickly approximate the __________ and the _____________________/____________________of a quadratic equation. Thankfully, your graphing calculator is very helpful in accomplishing this feat. Example 4: Approximate the zeros and min or max of the equation 3x2 + 5x = 6+y using a graphing calculator. Round to four decimal places. Approximate the zeros Note: This method will not work if the zero is a min or max. 1) Put the equation you want to graph in standard form. 2) Enter the equation in your calculator as Y1 =. Press GRAPH. (Adjust your window if needed. ZOOM ZStandard gives 10 by 10 window) 3) Press 2nd TRACE, then press 2: ZERO. 4) Left Bound? Move your cursor just to the “left” of the first point of intersection. Press ENTER. 5) Right Bound? Move your cursor just to the “right” of the first point of intersection. Press ENTER. 6) The screen will show “Guess”. Press ENTER again. 7) The bottom of the screen will say X=____ Y=0. The x value is the zero. The first zero in this example is _________. 8) Repeat steps 3-7 to obtain the second root. The second zero is __________.

Applications  of  Quadratic  Functions  (LT  4)  Quadratic  functions  have  many  applications  to  real-­‐world  scenarios.  For  example,  quadratics  can  be  used  to  model  the  height  of  a  projectile  over  time.  They  can  also  be  used  to  help  businesses  predict  revenue.    Example  6:  The  height  of  a  punted  football  can  be  modeled  by  h=−0.01x2 +1.18x+2 .  The  horizontal  distance  in  feet  from  the  punter’s  foot  is  x,  and  h  is  the  height  of  the  ball  in  feet.  Calculate  how  far  the  punter  kicked  the  ball  using  your  graphing  calculator.                             ____________________  feet                           ___________________  yards            Example  7:  Smoke  jumpers  are  firefighters  who  parachute  into  areas  near  forest  fires.  A  jumper’s  height  during  free  fall  (before  the  parachute  opens)  is  modeled  by  

!!h(t)= −16t2 +h0  where  t  is  time  in  seconds  and  !!h0 is  the  initial  height.  If  a  jumper’s  plane  is  

1500  feet  off  the  ground  when  he  jumps,  how  long  is  he  in  free  fall  before  his  parachute  opens  at  1200  feet?                         ______________      Example  8:  An  apartment  complex  has  100  two-­‐bedroom  units.    The  monthly  profit  in  dollars    realized  from  renting  out  the  apartments  is  given  by:    P(x)  =  -­‐10x2  +  1500x  –  20,000    a.  How  many  units  must  be  rented  out  to  maximize  profits?       ____________________    b.  What  is  the  maximum  profit  realizable?             ____________________    c.  How  many  apartments  must  be  rented  before  a  profit  is  made?         ___________________      Example  9  :  A  bakery  knows  from  market  research  that    -­‐6p  +  180  models  the  number  of  pies  sold  on  average  day,  where  p  is  the  price  of  a  pie  in  dollars.        a.  Write  an  equation  to  represent  the  revenue  the  bakery  can  expect  on  an  average  day.    R(p)  =  _______________________________    b.  What  price  will  maximize  the  revenue?               ____________________    c.  What  is  the  maximum  revenue?               ____________________

Example  10    If  Jimmy  Fallon  dropped  a  T.V.  from  a  height  of  1500  feet,  how  long  would  it  take  to  hit  the  ground?    How  long  would  it  take  to  land  on  a  building  50  feet  tall.      Use  the  formula:      h(t)  =  -­‐16t2  +  s                   h(t)  =  ____________________    h  =  height  when  the  object  landed.    If  it  landed  on  the  ground,  then  h  =  ______.    

 If  it  landed  on  the  top  of  a  50  ft.  building,  then  h  =  ______.  t  =  the  time  it  takes  for  the  object  to  fall.      s  =  height  from  which  the  object  is  dropped  or….  where  the  object  started!    _____________      time  to  ground  ______________   time  to  building  ______________          Example  11:  The  data  in  the  table  represents  the  amount  of  rainfall  for  each  month,  in  inches.      a.  Graph  a  scatter  plot  of  the  data  in  your  calculator.  What  type  of  function  best  represents  the  data?    -­‐  Enter  your  data  (2ND  STAT,  Edit…)  -­‐  Turn  on  Stat  Plot  1  (2nd,  STAT  PLOT)  -­‐  Graph  the  data  (adjust  window  if  needed)      b.  Find  the  ____________  regression  line  that  models  the  data  using  your  calculator.

¨ graph quadratic functions in standard form (using properties of quadratics). (LT 5) ¨ identify key characteristics of quadratic functions including axis of symmetry, vertex, min/max, y-

intercept, x-intercepts, domain and range (LT 7) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One  of  the  most  important  things  we  will  do  this  year  is  graph  functions.  The  simplest  (but  not  always  easiest  way)  of  graphing  is  to  make  a  table  …    Example  1:  Graph  the  quadratic  function  by  making  a  table,  then  write  the  axis  of  symmetry,  the  domain,  and  the  range:      y  =  -­‐2x2  +  3    

                   

       Now  let’s  explore  some  easier  ways  of  graphing.        Start  with  the  parent  quadratic  function:  ________________

Go  to  www.desmos.com  and  click  Start  Graphing.    In  the  first  blank,  type  in  the  parent  function  (use  the  carrot  key  ^  for  the  squared  part  of  the  equation).    You  should  see  a  red  parabola  appear  with  its  vertex  at  (0,0).    Follow  the  directions  below  and  fill  in  the  blanks.    In  the  box  where  you  just  wrote  the  parent  function,  add  an  “a”  before  the  x.    You  should  see  a  blue  button  appear  next  to  the  words  “add  slider”.    Click  the  blue  button.    You  should  now  be  able  to  change  the  value  of  a  by  using  the  slider.    Experiment  with  the  slider,  then  fill  in  the  blanks  …       When  𝑎 > 0,  the  parabola  opens  __________.       When  𝑎 < 0,  the  parabola  opens  __________.    Go  back  to  the  parent  function  and  add  “+bx”.    The  first  box  should  now  read:  𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥! + 𝑏𝑥.    Add  a  slider  for  b  like  you  did  with  a,  then  experiment  with  moving  b  around.          In  Box  4,  add  the  following  equation:  𝑥 = − !

!!    .    The  fraction  will  automatically  form  when  you  type  in  “/”.    

You  should  see  a  different  colored  line  appear  on  the  graph.    Now  experiment  with  the  a  and  b  sliders.         𝑥 = − !

!!      is  the  ___________________________________.  (It  is  an  equation  x  =  ______)  

 So  the  x-­‐coordinate  of  the  vertex  is  − !

!!  and  the  y-­‐coordinate  is  what  you  get  when  you  plug  in  − !

!!.    

In  other  words,  the  vertex  is:   − !!!   , 𝑓(− !

!!  )    (It  is  an  ordered  pair.)  

 Finally,  add  “+c”  to  the  parent  function  in  Box  1.    It  should  now  read:  𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥! + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐.    Add  a  slider  for  c,  then  experiment  with  moving  a,  b,  and  c.       The  point  (0,  c)  is  the  __________________________.    These  properties  make  graphing  much  easier!    Graph  the  following  functions  on  your  calculator  

y  =  3x2  –  5     y  =  0.5x2  +  2x  +  3       y  =  -­‐x2  +  3x  +  7     y  =  -­‐0.2x2  –  x  +  8

Example  8:  Profit  earned  from  sponsoring  a  basketball  game  between  teachers  and  students  is  modeled  by  y = −100x2 +750x − 650 ,  where  x  is  the  price  of  a  ticket.    Graph  the  function  on  your  calculator,  make  a  sketch  below  that  includes  the  important  information,  and  answer  the  following  questions.        a.    What  is  the  domain  of  the  function?      __________________    b.    What  profit  is  earned  if  the  price  of  the  ticket  is  $5?    __________      c.    What  price  will  lead  to  max  profit?    ___________    What  is  the  max  profit?  __________      

Example  9:  Smoke  jumpers  are  firefighters  who  parachute  into  areas  near  forest  fires.    A  jumper’s  height  during  free  fall  (before  the  parachute  opens)  is  modeled  by:  h(t) = −16t 2 + height of plane  

where  t  is  time  in  seconds.    If  a  jumper’s  plane  is  1400  ft.  off  the  ground  when  he  jumps,  how  long  is  he  in  free  fall  before  his  parachute  opens  at  1000  ft.?    h(t)  =  ___________________________        

Example  10    If  Jimmy  Fallon  dropped  a  T.V.  from  a  height  of  1000  feet,  how  long  would  it  take  to  hit  the  ground?    How  long  would  it  take  to  land  on  a  building  20  feet  tall.    Use  the  formula:      h(t)  =  -­‐16t2  +  s                   h(t)  =  ____________________  h  =  height  when  the  object  landed.    If  it  landed  on  the  ground,  then  h  =  ______.    

 If  it  landed  on  the  top  of  a  20  ft.  building,  then  h  =  ______.  t  =  the  time  it  takes  for  the  object  to  fall.      s  =  height  from  which  the  object  is  dropped  or….  where  the  object  started!    _____________    time  to  ground  ______________   time  to  building  ______________
