Mathematical Practices Mathematicall profi cient students distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is fl awed. (MP) Using Correct Logic Core Concept Deductive Reasoning In deductive reasoning, ou start with two or more statements that ou know or assume to be true. From these, ou deduce or infer the truth of another statement. Here is an eample.. Premise: If this traffic does not clear, then I will be late for work.. Premise: The traffic has not cleared.. Conclusion: I will be late for work. This pattern for deductive reasoning is called a sllogism. Recognizing Flawed Reasoning The sllogisms below represent common tpes of fl awed reasoning. Eplain wh each conclusion is not valid. a. When it rains, the ground gets wet. The ground is wet. Therefore, it must have rained. c. Police, schools, and roads are necessar. Taes fund police, schools, and roads. Therefore, taes are necessar. b. When it rains, the ground gets wet. It is not raining. Therefore, the ground is not wet. d. All students use cell phones. M uncle uses a cell phone. Therefore, m uncle is a student. SOLUTION a. The ground ma be wet for another reason. b. The ground ma still be wet when the rain stops. c. The services could be funded another wa. d. People other than students use cell phones. Monitoring Progress Decide whether the sllogism represents correct or flawed reasoning. If flawed, eplain wh the conclusion is not valid.. All mammals are warm-blooded. All dogs are mammals. Therefore, all dogs are warm-blooded.. All mammals are warm-blooded. M pet is warm-blooded.

Eploring Properties of Parabolas An ais of smmetr is a line that divides a parabola into mirror images and passes through the verte. Because the verte of f() = a( h) + k is (h, k), the ais of smmetr is the vertical line = h. Previousl, ou used transformations to graph quadratic functions in verte form.

This allows ou to make the following observations. a = a: So, a has the same meaning in verte form and standard form. b = ah: Solve for h to obtain h = b a. So, the ais of smmetr is = b a. c = ah + k: In verte form f() = a( h) + k, notice that f(0) = ah + k. So, c is the -intercept. 5 Chapter Quadratic Functions Copright Big Ideas Learning, LLC.

STUDY TIP When a function f is written in verte form, ou can use h = b a and k = f ( a) b to state the properties shown. Finding Maimum and Minimum Values Because the verte is the highest or lowest point on a parabola, its -coordinate is the maimum value or minimum value of the function. The verte lies on the ais of smmetr, so the function is increasing on one side of the ais of smmetr and decreasing on the other side. Core Concept Maimum and Minimum Values For the quadratic function f() = a + b + c, the -coordinate of the verte is the minimum value of the function when a > 0 and the maimum value when a < 0. a > 0 a < 0 decreasing increasing minimum = b a Minimum value: f ( a) b Domain: All real numbers Range: f ( a) b increasing = b a maimum decreasing Maimum value: f ( a) b Domain: All real numbers Range: f ( a) b Decreasing to the left of = b a Increasing to the right of = b a Increasing to the left of = b a Decreasing to the right of = b a Check 0 0 Minimum X=.999999 Y=- 0 0 Finding a Minimum or a Maimum Value Find the minimum value or maimum value of f() =.

REMEMBER An -intercept of a graph is the -coordinate of a point where the graph intersects the -ais. It occurs where f() = 0. COMMON ERROR Remember that the -intercepts of the graph of f() = a( p)( q) are p and q, not p and q. Graphing Quadratic Functions Using -Intercepts When the graph of a quadratic function has at least one -intercept, the function can be written in intercept form, f() = a( p)( q), where a 0. Core Concept Properties of the Graph of f() = a( p)( q) Because f(p) = 0 and f(q) = 0, p and = q are the -intercepts of the graph of the function. The ais of smmetr is halfwa between (p, 0) and (q, 0). So, the ais of smmetr is = p + q. The parabola opens up when a > 0 and opens down when a < 0. Graphing a Quadratic Function in Intercept Form Graph f() = ( + )( ). Label the -intercepts, verte, and ais of smmetr. SOLUTION Step Identif the -intercepts. The -intercepts are p = and q =, so the parabola passes through the points (, 0) and (, 0). Step Find the coordinates of the verte. = p + q = + = f( ) = ( + )( ) = 8 So, the ais of smmetr is = and the verte is (, 8).

Understand the Problem You are given a graph and a function that represent the paths of two golf shots. You are asked to determine which shot travels farther before hitting the ground and which shot travels higher.. Make a Plan Determine how far each shot travels b interpreting the -intercepts. Determine how high each shot travels b finding the maimum value of each function. Then compare the values.. Solve the Problem First shot: The graph shows that the -intercepts are 0 and 00. So, the ball travels 00 ards before hitting the ground. 5 d 00 d Because the ais of smmetr is halfwa between (0, 0) and (00, 0), the ais of smmetr is = 0 + 00 = 50. So, the verte is (50, 5) and the maimum height is 5 ards. Second shot: B rewriting the function in intercept form as f() = 0.0( 0)( 80), ou can see that p = 0 and q = 80. So, the ball travels 80 ards before hitting the ground. To find the maimum height, find the coordinates of the verte. = p + q = 0 + 80 = 0 f(0) = 0.0(0)(0 80) = 0 = 5 The maimum height of the second shot is ards. Because 00 ards > 80 ards, the first shot travels farther. Because ards > 5 ards, the second shot travels higher. 0 0 f 90. Look Back To check that the second shot travels higher, graph the function representing the path of the second shot and the line = 5, which represents the maimum height of the first shot. The graph rises above = 5, so the second shot travels higher. Monitoring Progress Help in English and Spanish at BigIdeasMath.com 8. WHAT IF?
