Identify Key Points from Quadratic Function Graphs
(7) Quadratic functions and equations. The student applies the mathematical process standards when using graphs of quadratic functions and their related transformations to represent in multiple ways and determine, with and without technology, the solutions to equations.
A1.7.A(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
A1.7.B(B) Describe the relationship between the linear factors of quadratic expressions and the zeros of their associated quadratic functions
A1.7.C(C) Determine the effects on the graph of the parent function f(x) = x2 when f(x) is replaced by af(x), f(x) + d, f(x - c), f(bx) for specific values of a, b, c, and d.
A1.8(8) Quadratic functions and equations. The student applies the mathematical process standards to solve, with and without technology, quadratic equations and evaluate the reasonableness of their solutions. The student formulates statistical relationships and evaluates their reasonableness based on real-world data.
A1.8.A(A) Solve quadratic equations having real solutions by factoring, taking square roots, completing the square, and applying the quadratic formula
HSF.IF.8 Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function.
HSF.IF.8.AHSF.IF.8.A Use the process of factoring and completing the square in a quadratic function to show zeros, extreme values, and symmetry of the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context.
HSF.IF.8.BHSF.IF.8.B Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions. For example, identify percent rate of change in functions such as y = (1.02)ᵗ, y = (0.97)ᵗ, y = (1.01)12ᵗ, y = (1.2)ᵗ/10, and classify them as representing exponential growth or decay.
