What you’ll learn about Polynomial Functions Linear Functions and Their Graphs Average Rate of Change Association, Correlation, and Linear Modeling Quadratic Functions and Their Graphs Applications of Quadratic Functions … and why Many business and economic problems are modeled by linear functions. Quadratic and higher-degree polynomial functions are used in science and manufacturing applications.

3. 3 Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.1 Essential Question: What is a “rate of change”? What is the relationship between a quadratic function and its graph? How can we create linear/quadratic models to help us solve problems? Objective: Student will be able to recognize and graph linear and quadratic functions, and use these functions to model situations and solve problems.

17. 17 Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Vertex Form of a Quadratic Equation Any quadratic function f(x) = ax 2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0, can be written in the vertex form f(x) = a(x – h) 2 + k The graph of f is a parabola with vertex (h, k) and axis x = h, where h = –b/(2a). If a > 0, the parabola opens upward, and if a < 0, it opens downward.
