Exploring Quadratic Functions and Inequalities
6-1 Quadratic Functions
• Functions with the form y=ax2+bx+c are called quadratic functions and their graphs have a parabolic shape
• When we solve ax2+bx+c=0 we look for values of x that are x-intercepts (because we have y=0)
• The x-intercepts are called the solutions or roots of a quadratic equation
• A quadratic equation can have two real solutions, one real solution, or no real solutions
6-1 Quadratic Functions (cont.)
• On the calculator find roots using the ROOT menu– Choose a point to the left of the x-intercept and a point to
the right of the x-intercept to give a range in which the calculator will find the x-intercept
– Do this for each root you see on the graph
6-2 Example
Graph y= -x2 - 2x + 8 and find its roots.
Vertex: (-1, 9)Roots: (-4, 0) (2, 0)Viewing window:Xmin= -10Xmax=10Ymin= -10Ymax= 10
6-2 Problems
1. Find what size viewing window is needed to view y= x2 + 4x -15. Find the roots.
Window: Xmin= -10 Xmax= 10 Ymin= -20 Ymax= 10 Roots: -6.3589 and 2.3589
6-2 Solving Quadratic Equations by Graphing
• In a quadratic equation y=ax2+bx+c, ax2 is the quadratic term, bx is the linear term, and c is the constant term
• The axis of symmetry is a line that divides a parabola into two equal parts that would match exactly if folded over on each other
• The vertex is where the axis of symmetry meets the parabola
• The roots or zeros (or solutions) are found by solving the quadratic equation for y=0 or looking at the graph

6-3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
• Factor with the zero product property: if a*b=0 then either a=0 or b=0 or both are equal to 0
• Factoring by guess and check is useful, but you may have to try several combinations before you find the correct one
• While doing word problems examine your solutions carefully to make sure it is a reasonable answer
6-3 Example
Solve the equation (2t + 1)2 – 4(2t + 1) + 3 = 0.
(2t + 1)(2t + 1) – 4(2t + 1) + 3 = 04t2 + 2t + 2t + 1 – 8t – 4 + 3 = 0
4t2 – 4t = 04t (4t – 1) = 0
4t = 0 t – 1 = 0t = 0 t = 1
The solutions are 0 and 1.
6-3 Problems
1. Solve (5x – 25)(7x + 3) = 0.2. Solve by factoring: 4x2 – 13x = 12.
1) 5 and -3/7 2) -3/4 and 4
6-4 Completing the Square
• The way to complete a square for x2 + bx + ? is to take ½ x b and then square it
• So for x2 + 6x + ? :½ (6) = 3 32 = 9 Therefore, the blank should be 9.
• If the coefficient of x2 is not 1, you must divide the equation by that coefficient before completing the square
• Some roots will be irrational or imaginary numbers
6-4 Example
Find the exact solution of 2x2 – 6x – 5 = 0.
2x2 – 6x – 5 = 0x2 – 3x – 5/2 = 0x2 – 3x + o = 5/2 + ox2 – 3x + 9/4 = 5/2 + 9/4(x – 3/2)2 = 19/4(x – 3/2)2 = 19/4
x – 3/2 = + 19/2 or
x – 3/2 = - 19/2
Solution:
x = 3/2 + 19/2 and
x = 3/2 – 19/2
6-4 Problems
1. Find the value c that makes x2 + 12x + c a perfect square.
2. Solve x2 – 2x – 15 = 0 by completing the square.
1) c = 36 2) -3 and 5
6-5 The Quadratic Formula and the Discriminant
• The quadratic formula gives the solutions of ax2 + bx + c = 0 when it is not easy to factor the quadratic or complete the square
• Quadratic formula:
• To remember the formula try singing it to the tune of the Notre Dame fight song or “Pop Goes the Weasel”
x = -b +/- b2 – 4ac
2a
6-5 The Quadratic Formula and the Discriminant (cont.)
• The b2 – 4ac term is called the discriminant and it helps to determine how many and what kind of roots you see in the solution
Value of b2 – 4ac Is it a perfect square? Nature of the Roots
b2 – 4ac > 0 yes 2 real roots, rational
b2 – 4ac > 0 no 2 real roots, irrational
b2 – 4ac < 0 not possible 2 imaginary roots
b2 – 4ac = 0 not possible 1 real root
6-5 Example
Find the discriminant of 3x2 + x – 2 = 0 and tell the nature of its roots. Then solve the equation.
Discriminant = b2 – 4ac = 12 – 4(3)(-2) = 1 – (-24) = 1 + 24
= 25
So, there are two real roots and the solutions will be rational.
a = 3 b = 1 c = -2
x = -1 +/- 12 – 4(3)(-2)
2(3)
x = -1 +/- 5 6
x = -1 + 5 x = -1 - 5 6 6
x = 2/3 x = -1
The solutions are 2/3 and -1.
x = -1 +/- 25 6
6-5 Problems
1. Use the discriminant to tell the nature of the roots of -7x2 – 8x – 10 = 0.
2. Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation -15x2 – 8x – 1 = 0.
1) Discriminant = -216 2 imaginary roots 2) -1/3 and -1/5
6-5 Example
Write a quadratic equation from the given roots -4 and -2/3.
-4 + -2/3 = -14/3-4 x -2/3 = 8/3
a=3 b=14 c=83x2 + 14x + 8 = 0
6-5 Problems
1. Given the roots -1/3 and -1/5, write the quadratic equation.
2. Solve the equation x2 + 3x – 18 = 0 and check your answers using the sum and product of the roots.
1) 15x2 + 8x + 1 = 0 2) -6 and 3
6-6 vertex form
• A parabola has the equation y = a (x – h)2 + k• The coefficients a, h, and k can be changed to create
similar parabolas• Changing “k” moves the parabola up (k > 0) or down
(k < 0)• A change in “h” moves the parabola to the right (h >
0) or left (h < 0)• Changing “a” makes a parabola open upwards (a > 0)
or downwards (a < 0), and also tells if the parabola is wider ( IaI < 1) or narrower ( IaI > 1)
6-6 Example
k = 1 the graph moves up oneh = -3 the graph moves three to
the lefta = 2 the graph is narrower and
opens upward
Predict the shape of the parabola y = 2 (x+3)2 + 1 and graph it on a graphing calculator to check your answer.
6-6 Problem
1. Predict the shape of y = (x + 2)2 + 1 and graph the equation on a graphing calculator.
1) Moved up one and two to the left
6-6 Analyzing Graphs of Quadratic Functions
• For more information on figuring out the shape of graphs see the notes on 6-6 p.323
• The equation y = a (x – h)2 + k gives the vertex (h, k) and the axis of symmetry is x = h
• You can write the equation of a parabola if you know its vertex or if you know three points the parabola passes through
6-6 Examples
1. Write y = x2 + 6x – 3 in standard form and then name the vertex, axis of symmetry ,and direction of opening.
y = x2 + 6x – 3y + 3 + o = (x2 + 6x + o)y + 3 + 9 = (x2 + 6x + 9)y + 12 = (x + 3)2
y = (x + 3)2 – 12
Vertex: (-3, -12)
Axis of Symmetry: x = -3
The graph should open upwards.
6-6 Problems
1. Write y = x2 – 6x + 11 in the form y = a (x – h)2 + k and find the vertex, axis of symmetry, and direction of opening.
1)y = (x – 3)2 + 2 vertex: (3, 2) axis of symmetry: x = 3 opens upward
2)y = 2x2 - x
6-7 Graphing and Solving Quadratic Inequalities
• The graph of the parabola serves as a boundary between the area inside the parabola and the area outside the parabola
• Graph quadratic inequalities the same way you graph linear inequalities:
• Graph the parabola and decide if the boundary line should be solid (≤ or ≥) or dashed ( < or >)
• Test one point inside the parabola and one outside the parabola• Shade the region where the inequality was true for the tested
points
• To solve a quadratic inequality you could graph it or find it through factoring the inequality and testing points
6-7 Examples
1. Graph the quadratic inequality y > 3x2 + 12x. Then decide if (2,4) is a solution to the inequality.
Decide where to shade:
Test: (0,0) Test: (-2, 2)
0 > 3 (0)2 + 12 (0) 2 > 3 (-2)2 + 12 (-2)
0 > 0 + 0 2 > 3 (4) – 24
0 > 0 2 > -12
False True
Is (2, 4) a solution?
4 > 3 (2)2 + 12(2) You could also look at the graph and see that
4 > 12 + 24 (2,4) is not in the shaded region.
4 > 36 (2, 4) is not a solution.
6-7 Problems
1. Graph the quadratic inequality y > x2 – x + 10 and decide if (0, 12) is a solution of the inequality.
2. Solve x2 – 10x – 16 < 0.
1)(0, 12) is a solution.2) 2 < x < 8
