  1. 5.8 Modeling with Quadratic Functions p. 306

  2. Remember the 3 forms of a quadratic equation! • Standard Form • y=ax2+bx+c • Vertex Form • y=a(x-h)2+k • Intercepts Form • y=a(x-p)(x-q)

  3. Example: Write a quadraticfunction for a parabola with a vertex of (-2,1) that passes through the point (1,-1). • Since you know the vertex, use vertex form! y=a(x-h)2+k • Plug the vertex in for (h,k) and the other point in for (x,y). Then, solve for a. • -1=a(1-(-2))2+1 -1=a(3)2+1 -2=9a Now plug in a, h, & k!

  4. Example: Write a quadratic function in intercept form for a parabola with x-intercepts (1,0) & (4,0) that passes through the point (2,-6). • Intercept Form: y=a(x-p)(x-q) • Plug the intercepts in for p & q and the point in for x & y. • -6=a(2-1)(2-4) -6=a(1)(-2) -6=-2a 3=a Now plug in a, p, & q! y=3(x-1)(x-4)

  5. Example: Write a quadratic equation in standard form whose graph passes through the points (-3,-4), (-1,0), & (9,-10). • Standard Form: ax2+bx+c=y • Since you are given three points that could be plugged in for x & y, write three eqns. with three variables (a,b,& c), then solve using your method of choice such as linear combo, inverse matrices, or Cramer’s rule. 1. a(-3)2+b(-3)+c=-4 2. a(-1)2+b(-1)+c=0 3. a(9)2+b(9)+c=-10 A-1 * B = X =a =b =c
