Transcript Quadratic formula (graphing)

Finding the square root button on your online
quiz/test calculator for all quizzes/tests that
include problems from Ch. 10 and 11:
Remember: The calculator button is at the TOP LEFT of your screen
when you are in the lockdown browser, not at the right side of the
problem like it is when you’re doing online homework.
This version of the calculator will be also be available
when you take Test 4 and the Final Exam.
Please open Quiz 11.2
You will have access to the online calculator on your
laptop during this quiz. No other calculator may be used.
You may use the pink formula sheet on this quiz – please don’t write on this
sheet, and remember to hand it back in with your quiz answer sheet.
Remember to turn in your answer sheet to the TA
when the quiz time is up.
Please CLOSE YOUR LAPTOPS,
and turn off and put away
your cell phones,
and get out your note-taking
materials.

Section 11.5
Graphing Quadratic Equations
We first examined the graph of f(x) = x2 back in Chapter 3, and you
graphed some variations of the quadratic function f(x) = ax2 + bx + c on
the graphing worksheets for HW 8.2 A & B. (You may want to refer to
your graded worksheets as you do the homework for this section.)
Reminders on graphing quadratic functions of the form
f(x) = ax2 + c .
Recall from the HW 8.2 worksheets:
• If a > 0, the parabola opens upward.
• If a < 0, the parabola opens downward.
• The point (0, C) is the y-intercept of the graph.
Examples
y
f(x) = x2
f(x) = -x2
g(x) = x2 + 3
x
h(x) = x2 – 3
Two new terms we’ll be introducing in this
section:
•
The highest point or lowest point on the parabola
is called the vertex.
•
The axis of symmetry is the line that runs
through the vertex and through the middle of the
parabola.
Examples
y
f(x) = x2 Vertex = (0,0)
f(x) = -x2 Vertex = (0,0)
g(x) = x2 + 3 Vertex = (0,3)
x
h(x) = x2 – 3 Vertex = (0,-3)
The axis of symmetry for all four of
these graphs is the vertical line x = 0
Graphing the parabola f(x) = (x – h)2
•
If h is positive, the graph of f(x) = (x – h)2 is the
graph of y = x2 shifted to the right h units.
•
If h is negative, the graph of f(x) = (x – h)2 is the
graph of y = x2 shifted to the left |h| units.
•
The vertex is (h, 0) .
•
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = h.

Graphing the parabola f(x) = (x – h)2 + k
•
The parabola has the same shape as y = x2.
•
The vertex is the point (h, k).
•
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = h.
Example (cont)
f(x) =
x2
y
g(x) = (x – 2)2 + 4
Vertex: (2, 4)
Axis: x = 2
x
Graphing the parabola f(x) = ax2
•
If a is positive, the parabola opens upward
•
If a is negative, the parabola opens downward.
•
If |a| > 1, the graph of the parabola is narrower
than the graph of y = x2.
•
If |a| < 1, the graph of the parabola is wider than
the graph of y = x2.
Example (cont)
y
f(x) = x2
g(x) = 3x2
h(x) =
x
(1/3)x2
The vertex of all three of these graphs is
the point (0,0).
The axis of symmetry for all three of
these graphs is the vertical line x = 0
Example
Graph g(x) = –4(x + 2)2 – 1. Find the vertex and
axis of symmetry.
• Rewrite the function: g(x) = –4(x – (–2))2 – 1.
• The graphs opens down and
is narrower than f(x) = x2 .
• The graph is the graph of
f(x) = x2 shifted two units to
the left and one unit down.
• Vertex: (–2, –1)
• Axis: x = –2

Using the online
graphing
for tool.
this assignment:
(7, 7)
First,
select the tool
parabola
(10,16)
Next, find a second point
on the graph by picking a
number to plug in for x and
calculating the y
coordinate.
Pick an x that is not part of the vertex
point, and choose it so that the x and y
values can be plotted on the scale of
the graph. (More than one choice will
work.)
For example, if we choose x = 10, then
y = (10 - 7)2 + 7 = 32 + 7 = 16.
Then (10,16) would be a second point
we can plot on the parabola.
Next, select the line tool.
Use the line tool to graph
the axis of symmetry.
Pay attention to
this next part!!
After you graph the axis of
symmetry line, you have to
change it to a dotted line in
order for the software to know
that you’ve got the correct
answer.
(7, 7)
• Once you have the parabola AND the axis of
symmetry graphed, and have changed the axis to a
dotted line, click “save”.
• Then you’ll be asked to type in the vertex as an
ordered pair.
• That would be (7,7) in the previous example.
• Finally, you’ll be asked to give the equation of the axis
of symmetry.
• That would be x = 7 in the previous example.
• You can now open your laptops and try using this
tool on HW 11.5
Make sure you can successfully use the tool
(i.e. “check answer” and get it right)
before you leave class today.
REMINDER:
The assignment on today’s material (HW 11.5) is due
at the start of the next class session.
If time remains, please open your laptops and work on the
homework assignment until the end of the class period.
