Steps for Completing the Square
Put terms with variables on one side and CONSTANT to the other side Make sure the side is in DESCENDING order Standard Form, π¨ π π +π©π+πͺ=π where π¨=π Identify the coefficient which is raised to the first power, DIVIDE the term by 2, and SQUARE the number (it will always be positive) ADD to both sides to the equation Put the equation into FACTORED form (Vertex Form) SQUARE ROOT both sides and cancel the binomial Solve for π and check 1/17/ :32 AM Β§2.1A: Quadratic Applications

Using Technology to Solve
When a functionβs graph intersects the π-axis and the π-value is a zero, it is called a zero, solution, or root. In the real-world, it is also called the π-intercept. The maximum or minimum will establish the vertex When units are in feet, the equation is π=βππ π π +ππ+π where π is in time and π is initial height When units are in meters, the equation is π=βπ.π π π +ππ+π where π is in time and π is initial height 1/17/ :32 AM Β§2.1A: Quadratic Applications

Where does βπππ π and βπ.ππ π Come From?
Gravity pulls objects toward the center of the earth (βdownβ to us) at an acceleration of 32 feet per sec2 (American measure) or 9.8 meters per sec2 (metric measure). AVERAGE acceleration per second is what is used. An objectβs velocity will be greater at the end of the one-second interval than at the beginning of the interval. If acceleration at π=π is 0 and at π=π is βπ.π, then the average is βπ.π in that interval. 1/17/ :32 AM Β§2.1A: Quadratic Applications
