Quadratic Equations and Functions
Quadratic Equations and Functions introduces students to the graphs of quadratics and teaches them to find the intercepts, discriminant, domain and range and interpret the graph in relation to these qualities. It also teaches students how to solve quadratics by factoring, completing the square and using the quadratic formula. Topics include:
- Exploring Quadratic Graphs
- Graphing Quadratic Equations
- Vertical and Horizontal Shifts of Quadratic Graphs
- Dilations of Quadratic Graphs
- Vocabulary of Quadratic Polynomials
- Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
- Solving Quadratic Equations Using Square Roots
- Completing the Square
- The Quadratic Formula
