1. Quadratic Equations in the Real World Keystrokes: At the bottom of the display are the coordinates of the maximum point on the graph. The y-value of these coordinates is the maximum value of the function, or 1280. ENTER2nd [CALC] 4 y = –5x 2 + 40x + 1200. What is the maximum monthly income

3. Root Zero Solution All of these terms mean the x-intercepts of a function, or the x values that make f(x) = 0

5.  Replace the 0 with a y. So you will have ◦ y=ax 2 +bx+c  Graph the equation  Look at the x-intercepts to find the solution  Check your solution

6.  Solve x 2 + 6x + 8 = 0 by graphing.

7.  Solve x 2 – 4x = –4 by graphing.

8.  NUMBER THEORY Use a quadratic equation to find two numbers with a sum of 4 and a product of 5. UnderstandLet x = one of the numbers. Then 4 – x = the other number. Solve:Graph the related function.

9.  Solve –x 2 + 4x – 1 = 0 by graphing. Use the ZERO feature, (2nd [CALC]), to find the zeros of the function, Use the arrow keys to locate a left bound for the zero and press [ENTER]. Then locate a right bound and press [ENTER] twice.

10.  Locate the zeros in the function 2(x- 3) 2 – 9 = 0

11. ROYAL GORGE BRIDGE The highest bridge in the United States is the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado. The deck of the bridge is 1053 feet above the river below. Suppose a marble is dropped over the railing from a height of 3 feet above the bridge deck. How long will it take the marble to reach the surface of the water, assuming there is no air resistance? Use the formula h(t) = –16t 2 + h 0, where t is the time in seconds and h 0 is the initial height above the water in feet.

12. Graph the related function y = –16t 2 + 1056 using a graphing calculator. Adjust your window so that the x-intercepts are visible. Solve0 = –16t 2 + 1056.
