Objectives: Be able to identify quadratic functions and graphs Be able to model data with a quadratic functions in the calculator
Standard form of a quadratic function: If a = 0 there is no quadratic term, thus the function is linear, not quadratic. Quadratic Term Linear Term Constant Term
Determine whether each function is linear or quadratic. Identify the quadratic, linear, and constant terms.
Parabola: The graph of a quadratic function
Axis of symmetry (or line of symmetry): the line that divides a parabola into two parts that are mirror images ◦ Equation:
Vertex: the point at which the parabola intersects the line of symmetry. Maximum Minimum
Given three points, can you find a quadratic equation? xy
Calculator Steps: (Make sure your first plot is ON under STAT PLOT) 1. STAT – Edit(#1) – enter data into L1(x) and L2(y) 2. STAT – CALC – QuadReg(#5) – Enter 3. Record your equation (don’t clear it) 4. Go to y = 5. VARS – Statistics(#5) – EQ – Enter 6. To See Graph: ZOOM - #9 or ZOOM - #0 7. Go to 2 nd Table to find amount looking for (for predictions)
