This section will primarily explore how the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra applies to Quadratic Functions.

Learning to express real-life situations as mathematical functions (models) allows seemingly complex ideas and actions to be broken down into smaller, simpler parts and analyzed. In this section are three types of of those models:...

Build on your understanding of modeling with linear, quadratic and exponential functions to begin to include other function families.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Learn how to distinguish between linear, exponential, and quadratic models.

The most basic quadratic is y = x2. The general technique for graphing quadratics is the same as for graphing linear equations. The quadratics graph as curvy lines (called "parabolas"), rather than the straight lines generated by linear...

Review linear regression and analyze how well this model fits the data. You will also be introduced to residuals and the correlation coefficient, and use these tools to determine whether or not a linear model is the best fit for a set of...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson covers fitting a data set to a quadratic equation.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson covers vertex, intercept, and standard forms. Here you'll explore the different forms of the quadratic equation.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students are finding complex roots of polynomials and applications of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. Students examine guided notes, review...

Construct an equation or an inequality that model a given context. Modeling expressions can be quadratic, rational, or exponential.
