Comparing Properties of Quadratic Functions Given in Different Forms

If a linear function and a quadratic function enter a boxing match, which one would win? Learners first review how to find key features of linear and quadratic functions. Next, they compare key features of pairs of functions.

Sometimes being different is an advantage. An engaging activity has scholars match cards with quadratic functions in various forms. Along the way, they learn about how each form highlights key features of quadratic functions.

Illuminate the world of mathematics for your class - specifically, the process of linear equations. In this video, Sal teaches about linear equations in standard form after two videos on slope-intercept and slope-point forms. He defines...

Short and simple. X equals negative b divided by two(a) is the formula used to find the axis of symmetry. If the quadratic equation is in standard form, identify the values for a, b, and c and plug the values into the formula. Do the...

This lesson explains how to compare properties of functions when they are represented in different forms. [7:49]

This is an introductory video on how to identify a quadratic function. This video explains what a quadratic function is and what the graph of a quadratic function looks like. The instructor goes through 4 examples of quadratic functions...

The vertex of an upward facing parabola is the lowest point on the parabola and is called the minimum. The vertex on a downward facing parabola is the highest point on the parabola and is called the maximum. These are the two...

Sal finds the zeros, the vertex, & the line of symmetry of quadratic functions given in vertex form, factored form, & standard form. [8:22]

Students collect height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2™ data collection device. Using a quadratic equation they graph scatter plots, graph and interpret a quadratic function, apply the vertex form of a quadratic...
