New Vocabular quadratic function parabola minimum maimum verte smmetr ais of smmetr Boston s Fourth of Jul celebration includes a fireworks displa set to music. If a rocket (firework) is launched with an initial velocit of 39. meters per second at a height of 1.6 meters above the ground, the equation h = -4.9 t + 39.t represents the rocket s height h in meters after t seconds. The rocket will eplode at approimatel the highest point. Graph Quadratic Functions The function describing the height of the rocket is an eample of a quadratic function. A quadratic function can be written in the form = a + b + c, where a 0. This form of equation is called standard form. The graph of a quadratic function is called a parabola. Quadratic Function Words Models A quadratic function can be described b an equation of the form = a + b + c, where a 0. Parent Graph The parent graph of the famil of quadratic functions is =. EXAMPLE Graph pens Upward Use a table of values to graph = What are the domain and range of this function? domain Graph these ordered pairs and connect them with a smooth curve Because the parabola 0-5 etends infinitel, the 1-7 domain is all real numbers The range is all real numbers greater than 4 11 or equal to Lesson 9-1 Graphing Quadratic Functions 471

Notice that the value of a in Eample 1 is positive and the curve opens upward. The graph of an quadratic function in which a is positive opens upward. The lowest point, or minimum, of this graph is located at (1, -7). Graph pens Downward FLYING DISKS The equation = represents the height of a fling disk seconds after it is tossed. a.

What are the domain and range 7 of this function? 3 6 D: { is a real number.} 4 3 R: { 7} c. Describe reasonable domain and range values for this situation. The fling disk is in the air for about 4.6 seconds, so a reasonable domain is { 0 4.6}. The height of the fling disk ranges from 0 to 7 feet, so a reasonable range is { 0 7}.. Use a table of values to graph = What are the domain and range of this function? Reading Math Verte The plural of verte is vertices. In math, verte has several meanings. For eample, there are the verte of an angle, the vertices of a polgon, and the verte of a parabola. Notice that the value of a in Eample is negative and the curve opens downward. The graph of an quadratic function in which a is negative opens downward. The highest point, or maimum, of the graph is located at (, 3). The maimum or minimum point of a parabola is called the verte. Smmetr and Vertices Parabolas possess a geometric propert called smmetr. Smmetrical figures are those in which each half of the figure matches the other eactl. The line that divides a parabola into two halves is called the ais of smmetr. Each point on the parabola that is on one side of the ais of smmetr has a corresponding point on the parabola on the other side of the ais. The verte is the onl point on the parabola that is on the ais of smmetr. Notice the relationship between the values a and b and the equation of the ais of smmetr. 47 Chapter 9 Quadratic and Eponential Functions

The verte is at (-1, 7). c. Identif the verte as a maimum or minimum. Since the coefficient of the term is negative, the parabola opens downward and the verte is a maimum point. d. Graph the function. You can use the smmetr of the parabola ( 1, 7) to help ou draw its graph. n a coordinate plane, graph the verte and the ais of smmetr. Choose a value for other than -1. For eample, choose 1 and find the -coordinate that satisfies the equation. = riginal equation = -3 (1) - 6 (1) + 4 Let = 1. = -5 Simplif. ( 3, 5) 1 (1, 5) Graph (1, -5). Since the graph is smmetrical about its ais of smmetr = -1, ou can find another point on the other side of the ais of smmetr. The point at (1, -5) is units to the right of the ais. Go units to the left of the ais and plot the point (-3, -5). Repeat this for several other points. Then sketch the parabola. Etra Eamples at algebra1.com Lesson 9-1 Graphing Quadratic Functions 473

35 9-5 Eponential Functions Main Ideas Graph eponential functions. Identif data that displas eponential behavior. New Vocabular eponential function Earnest Moone Warther was a whittler and a carver. For one of his most unusual carvings, Moone carved a large pair of pliers in a tree. From this original carving, he carved another pair of pliers in each handle of the original. Then he carved another pair of pliers in each of those handles. He continued this pattern to create the original pliers and 8 more laers of pliers. Even more amazing is the fact that all of the pliers work. Graph Eponential Functions The number of pliers on each level is given in the table below. Level Number of Pliers Power of riginal 1 0 First 1() = 1 Second () = 4 Third ()() = 8 3 Fourth ()()() = 16 4 Fifth ()()()() = 3 5 Sith ()()()()() = 64 6 Seventh ()()()()()() = 18 7 Eighth ()()()()()()() = 56 8 Stud the last column above. Notice that the eponent matches the level. So we can write an equation to describe, the number of pliers for an given level as =. This function is neither linear nor quadratic. It is in the class of functions called eponential functions in which the variable is the eponent. An eponential function is a function that can be described b an equation of the form = a, where a > 0 and a 1. Eponential Function As with other functions, ou can use ordered pairs to graph an eponential function. 50 Chapter 9 Quadratic and Eponential Functions Don Gibson

Quadratic equations can be solved b completing the square. To complete the square for + b, find 1_ of b, square this result, and then add the final result to + b.
