Graphs Day 2

Warm-Up

HW Check

Complete the investigation: Pairs will display their work under the doc cam. Make sure your work is neat!!!

Graphing Using your Graphing Calculator! Your equation always has to be in standard form! With y = your quadratic function

Calculator Commands Graph: Y=  Graph Vertex: 2 nd Trace  Min or Max (left bound, right bound, enter) X-Intercepts: 2 nd Trace  Zero (find each one separately) (left bound, right bound, enter) Y-Intercept: 2 nd Graph  find where x is zero OR: 2 nd Trace  value, x=0, enter

There are 3 possible choices for solutions for quadratic equations: Solutions are your x-intercepts!!! 0 Solutions1 Solution2 Solutions

Use a graphing calculator to answer the following questions. All equations must be in y= before we can graph them using the calculator. Ex. 1 1.Standard Form:__________ 2.Graph: 3.Vertex: ____ 4.Axis of symmetry: _____ 5.y-intercept:_____ 6.x-intercept:_____ 7.Solutions:

1. Suppose an eagle is flying 30 feet above a canyon when it drops a stick from its claws. The height, h, of the stick t seconds after it is released can be modeled by the function h=-16t A.How high above the ground is the stick after 1 second? B. When will the stick hit the ground? (The height when an object hits the ground is 0.)

1C Look at the graph. Why is only the first quadrant shown?

2. A monkey drops an orange from a branch26 ft above the ground. The force of gravity calls the orange to fall to earth. The function h = -16t gives the height of the orange h in feet after t seconds. When will the orange hit the ground? (The height when an object hits the ground is 0.)

3. Use a graph to answer the following questions. Use a graph to find the minimum/maximum points (vertex)! A. The total profit made by an engineering firm is given by the function p = x 2 – 25x Find the minimum profit.
