Determine How Many Times the Graph of a Quadratic Function Intersects the X-Axis

(A) Graph quadratic functions on the coordinate plane and use the graph to identify key attributes, if possible, including x-intercept, y-intercept, zeros, maximum value, minimum values, vertex, and the equation of the axis of symmetry

(A) Solve quadratic equations having real solutions by factoring, taking square roots, completing the square, and applying the quadratic formula

(Y10) Solve simple quadratic equations using a range of strategies (ACMNA241)

HSA.REI.4 Solve quadratic equations in one variable.

HSA.REI.4.B Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x^2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex solutions and write them as a ± bi for real numbers a and b.
