Quadratic Equations and
Functions
5-1 Warm Up
What is a quadratic equation? What
does the graph look like? Give a real
world example of where it is applied.
5-1 Modeling Data with Quadratic
Functions
OBJ: Recognize and use quadratic
functions
Decide whether to use a linear or
a quadratic model
Quadratic Functions
Quadratic function is a function that
can be written in the form f(x)=
ax²+bx+c, where a ≠ 0
The graph is a parabola
The ax² is the quadratic term
The bx is the linear term
The c is the constant term
The highest power in a quadratic
function is two
A function is linear if the greatest
power is one
Tell whether each function is linear
or quadratic
F(x)= (-x+3)(x-2)
Y=(2x+3)(x-4)
F(x)=(x²+5x)-x²
Y= x(x+3)
Modeling Data
Last semester you modeled data that,
when looking at the scatter plot, the
data seemed to be linear
Some data can be modeled better
with a quadratic function

What is a quadratic function?
What kinds of situations can a
quadratic function model?
5-2 Warm Up
List as many things as you can that
have the shape of a parabola
5-2 Properties of Parabolas
OBJ: Find the min and max value of a
quadratic function
Graph a parabola in vertex form
Comparing Parabolas
Any object that is tossed or thrown will
follow a parabolic path.
The highest or lowest point in a parabola is
the vertex
It is the vertex that is the maximum or
minimum value
If a is positive the parabola opens up,
making the vertex a min point
If a is negative the parabola opens down,
making the vertex a max point
Axis of symmetry divides a parabola
into two parts that are mirror images
of each other
The equation of the axis of symmetry
is x=(what ever the x coordinate of
the vertex is)
Two corresponding points are the
same distance from the axis of
symmetry
Y=ax²+bx+c is the general equation of
a parabola
If a>0 the parabola opens up
If a<0 the parabola opens down
If a is a fraction it is a wide opening
If a is a whole number it is narrow
Examples
Each tower of the Verrazano Narrows
Bridge rises about 650 ft above the
center of the roadbed. The length of
the main span is 4260 ft. Find the
equation of the parabola that could
model its main cables. Assume that
the vertex of the parabola is at the
origin.
Translating Parabolas
Not every parabola has its vertex at
the origin
Y=a(x-h)²+k is the vertex form of a
parabola
It is a translation of y=ax²
(h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex
the image of the parabola y ax under
the Translatio n Th,k is the parabola with
2
equation
y - k a(x - h)

Sketch the following graphs
y 7 3( x 6)
2
y 2 2( x 3)
2
y k a( x h) 2 is the vertex form of an equation
for a parabola.
The vertex is ( h, k)
Axis of symmetry is x = h
If a > 0 it is a max
If a < 0 it is a min
Graph, give equation for axis of
symmetry and state the vertex.

quadratic function tell you about its
graph?
Warm Up 5-3

find answers to problems quickly. (list
as many formulas as you can)
5-3 Comparing Vertex and
Standard Forms

standard form

Do part a
What do you notice about the graphs of
each pair of equations?
What is true of each pair of equations?
Write a formula for the relationship
between b and h
How can we modify our formula to show
the relationship among a, b, and h. (the last
couple of equations)
Standard form of a parabola
When a parabola is written as
y=ax²+bx+c it is standard form
The x coordinate of the vertex can be
found by –b/(2a)
To find the y coordinate by – [(b^24ac)/4a]
Suppose a toy rocket is
launched to its height in
meters after t seconds is given
by H = -4.9t^2 +20t +1.5. How
high is the rocket after one
second? How high is the
rocket when launched. How
high is the rocket after 12
seconds?
Example
Write the function y= 2x²+10x+7 in
vertex form
Write the function y= -x²+3x-4 in
vertex form
What is the relationship between the
axis of symmetry and the vertex of the
parabola?
Example
As a graduation gift for a friend, you plan to
frame a collage of pictures. You have a 9 ft
strip of wood for the frame. What
dimensions of the frame give you
maximum area of the collage?
What is the maximum area for the collage?
What is the best name for the geometric
shape that gives the maximum area for the
frame?
Will this shape always give the max area?
Consider this general formula:

A ball is dropped form the top of a
20 meter tall building. Find an
equation describing the relation
between the height and time.
Graph its height h after t
seconds. Estimate how much
time it takes the ball to fall to the
ground. Explain your reasoning
Write y= 3(x-1)²+12 in standard form
A rancher is constructing a cattle pen
by a river. She has a total of 150 ft of
fence, and plan to build the pen in the
shape of a rectangle. Since the river
is very deep, she need only fence
three sides of the pen. Find the
dimensions of the pens so that it
encloses the max area.

50 m by 20 m is to be built
with a walkway around it. IF
the walkway is w meters
wide, write the total area of
the pool and walkway in
standard form
Consider this
If a quarterback tosses a football to a
receiver 40 yards downfield, then
the ball reaches a maximum height
halfway between the passer and
the receiver, it will have a equation
h 0.025 x x 6
2
Example
Suppose a defender is 3
yards in front of the
receiver. This means the
defender is 37 yards from
the quarterback. Will he be
able deflect or catch the
ball?
Examples
A model rocket is shot at an
angle into the air from the
launch pad. The height of the
rocket when it has traveled
horizontally x feet from the
launch pad is given by

Name mathematical operations that
are opposites of each other. For
example, addition is the opposite of
subtraction.
Two inverse functions are opposite of
each other in the same way.
5-4 Inverses and Square Root
Functions
OBJ: Find the inverse of a function
Use square root functions
Consider the functions
F(x)= 2x-8
G(x)= (x+8)/2
Find F(6) and G(4)
F(x) and G(x) are inverses because one
function undoes the other
Graph each function on the same
coordinate plane
Find three coordinates on f(x)
Reverse the coordinates and graph
What do you notice?
Definition
The inverse of a relations
is the relation obtained
by reversing the order of
the coordinates of each
ordered pair in the
relation
Remember
If the graph of a function contains a
point (a,b), then the inverse of a
function contains the point (b,a)
Example
Let f 1,4, 2,8, 3,8, 0,0, 1,4
Find the inverse of f
Inverse Relation Theorem
Suppose f is a relation and g
is the inverse of f. Then:
1. A rule for g can be found by
switching x and y
2. The graph of g is the
reflection image of the
graph of f over y=x
3. The domain of g is the
range of f, and the range of
g is the domain of f
Remember
The inverse of a relation
is always a relation
The inverse of a function
is not always a function
Examples
Consider the function with
equation y= 4x-1. Find an
equation for its inverse.
Graph the function and its
inverse on the same
coordinate plane. Is the
inverse a function?
Consider the function with
domain the set of all real
numbers and equation
y=x^2
What is the equation for the
inverse? Graph the function
and its inverse on the same
coordinate plane. Is the
inverse a function? Why or
Why not?

5-5 Quadratic Equations
OBJ: Solve quadratic equations by
factoring, finding square roots, and
graphing
Zero Product Property
For all real numbers a and b. If ab=0,
then a=0 or b=0
Example
(x+3)(x-7)=0
(x+3)=0 or (x-7)=0
We can use the Zero Product
Property to solve quadratic equations.
That is why we learned how to factor.
Important rule for factor
quadratics
Make sure the quadratic is = 0
if not add or subtract until all numbers
and variables are on the same side.

Smoke jumpers are firefighters who
parachute into areas near forest fires.
Jumpers are in free fall from the time
they jump from a plane until they
open their parachutes. The function
y= -16x²+1600 gives jumper’s height
y in feet after x seconds for a jump
from 1600 ft. How long is the free fall
if the parachute opens at 1000 ft?
Another way to solve
Graphing is another way to solve
quadratics.
