Use symbolic forms to represent, model, and analyze mathematical
situations.

algebraically, graphically, or by using graphing technology.

Goals:
• Graph quadratic functions.
• F i,nd the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of the vertex
of a parabola.

Graphing a Quadratic Fu nction

• Quadratic Function: a function that can be written in standard form


y = ax 2 +bx+ c, where a* 0.

• The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola.

Example:

y = x2 - 2x +1
The minimum or maximum The axis of symmetry
point on a parabola is the vertex. divides the parabola into
mirror images and passes
The vertex of this graph is (1, 0)
through the vertex.

10. 3: Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square


HCPS Ill:

represent, model, and analyze mathematical situations.
• Benchmark MA.Al.10.7: Solve quadratic equations in one variable algebraically, graphically, or by using

Goals:
• Solve quadratic equations by find the square root.
• Solve quadratic equations by completing the square.

Find the Square Root

Steps for Solving by Finding the Square Root.

Step 1: Factor the perfect square trinomial.


Step 2: Square root both sides of the equation. Be sure to use +
Step 3: Solve for the variable to get two solutions.

Example 1: Irrational Roots.


Solve the quadratic equation by taking the square root of each
side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Completing the Square

Completing the Square is a method used to make a perfect square


trinomial-which you can find the square root. As a result, you can solve
a quadratic equation.

Caution: this method should only be used on trinomials in the form

Steps for Completing the Square


The goal is to find the perfect value for c that will complete
y = x 2 +bx+ c.

Step 1: Make sure x 2 + bx is on one side of the equation.


2
Step 2: Find the perfect value for c, by using c = (~) .

Step 3: Add the value for c to both sides of the equation.
