In Summary

Key Ideas
• Graphs of quadratic functions with no domain restrictions are parabolas.
• Quadratic functions have constant nonzero second differences. If the second
differences are positive, the parabola opens up and the coefficient of x2 is
positive. If the second differences are negative, the parabola opens down and
the coefficient of x2 is negative.

Need to Know
• Quadratic functions can be represented by equations in function notation, by
tables of values, or by graphs.
• Quadratic functions have a degree of 2.
• Quadratic functions can be expressed in different algebraic forms:
• standard form: f(x) 5 ax 2 1 bx 1 c, a 2 0
• factored form: f(x) 5 a(x 2 r) (x 2 s), a 2 0
• vertex form: f(x) 5 a(x 2 h) 2 1 k, a 2 0

by the function P(x) 5 22(x 2 3) 2 1 50, where x is in thousands of
computers sold. The company’s profit, in thousands of dollars, on sales of
stereo systems is modelled by the function P(x) 5 2 (x 2 2) (x 2 7),

16. Jim has a difficult golf shot to make. His ball is 100 m from the hole. He
wants the ball to land 5 m in front of the hole, so it can roll to the hole. A
20 m tree is between his ball and the hole, 40 m from the hole and 60 m
from Jim’s ball. With the base of the tree as the origin, write an algebraic
expression to model the height of the ball if it just clears the top of the tree.
