1 NAME: PERIOD: TABLE #: Unit 3: Quadratics (graphing, factoring, completing the square, the quadratic formula, complex numbers) Textbook: Students demonstrate knowledge of how real and complex numbers are related 5.0* both arithmetically and graphically. In particular, they can plot complex numbers as points in the plane. 6.0* Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide complex numbers. Students solve and graph quadratic equations by factoring, completing the square, 8.0* or using the quadratic formula. Students apply these techniques in solving word problems. They also solve quadratic equations in the complex number system. Students demonstrate and explain the effect that changing a coefficient has on the 9.0* graph of quadratic functions; that is, students can determine how the graph of a parabola changes as a, b, and c vary in the equation y = a(x b) + c. Students graph quadratic functions and determine the maxima, minima, and zeros 10.0* of the function. Date Notes Homework Quiz Score 1 U n i t 3

2 Topic: Graphs of Quadratics in Standard Form Standard: 8, 10 Standard Form of a Quadratic Function f ( x) ax bx c f(x) is like y a, b, c are just numbers the shape of the graph is a U or parabola the shape is symmetric (cut straight in the middle and both sides are the same) the point where the shape can be cut is called the vertex or the maximum or the minimum the line that cuts the parabola is called the axis of symmetry (line of symmetry) Axis of symmetry Vertex (maximum) Axis of symmetry Vertex (minimum) Symmetric property of parabolas: If you know one point on one side of the parabola, you can find one point on the other side of the parabola Is the vertex a minimum or a maximum? If the parabola opens up then the vertex is a. If the parabola opens down then the vertex is a. The axis of symmetry always crosses the. The equation for the axis of symmetry is x = U n i t 3
