Study Notes
Quadratic Functions and Equations Study Notes
- The graph of ( y = x^2 - 2 ) represents a vertical shift of the graph ( y = x^2 ) downwards by 2 units.
- Certain quadratic equations can be solved graphically by identifying intersections, such as ( y = x^2 - y = 4 ) and ( 2x + y = -1 ).
- The equation ( 3x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0 ) has no real solutions due to a negative discriminant.
- The zeroes of the quadratic ( y = x^2 + 2x - 8 ) can be found using factoring, resulting in roots at ( x = -4 ) and ( x = 2 ).
- A quadratic function can have zero, one, or two real solutions determined by the discriminant; the example graph indicates two real solutions.
Applications of Quadratics
- The height of a football kicked into the air can be modeled by the function ( s(t) = -16t^2 + 50t + 4 ); it reaches 25 feet at ( t = 0.5 ) seconds and ( t = 2.625 ) seconds.
- A rectangular window with a side ratio of 1.7:1 and an area of 2,720 square inches has dimensions of 40 inches by 68 inches.
- To maximize profit selling posters, Max should charge $10 per poster, resulting in a maximum profit of $750, as described by the profit function ( p(x) = -10x^2 + 200x - 250 ).
Solving Quadratic Equations
- The solutions to the equation ( x^2 + 14x + 48 = 0 ) extract roots of ( x = -6 ) or ( x = -8 ).
- Factors of the quadratic function found through graphing may include ( (x + 3)(x - 4) ), which match its zeroes.
Parabola Characteristics
- Parabolas can be expressed in vertex form ( y = a(x-h)^2 + k ), where ( (h, k) ) is the vertex; for a parabola with an axis of symmetry at ( x = -8 ) and a vertex at height 2, the equation would be ( y = -3(x + 8)^2 + 2 ).
Complex Numbers
- Pure imaginary numbers are in the form ( a + bi ) only when ( b \neq 0 ) and ( a = 0 ).
- Instant calculations like ( i^2 ) equal to -1 reinforce the foundational properties of imaginary units.
- Complex numbers are not represented on the traditional ( xy ) coordinate system, as they exist in a different dimensional space.
Truth Statements
- The minimum value of a quadratic function refers to the smallest ( y )-value attained by the function, confirming its defining characteristic.
