Zeros of a Quadratic Function

Model the flight of a ball. Small groups collect time data for how long it takes to toss a ball between two people. The teacher leads a discussion about projectile motion to get the class thinking about how to calculate the equation of...

Starting with the basics, learners discover the features of a parabola and the ways to accurately graph it. After pupils practice with graphing, the end of the worksheet focuses on application type problems. 

Develop a strategy for solving quadratic equations. Pupils learn to factor quadratic equations and then apply the Zero Theorem. The instructor explains the Zero Theorem in detail.

Introduce zeros of a function and their relationship to the graph of the function. an informative video uses the definition of a zero to help identify them on a graph and provides several examples of finding the zeros of a...

Determine critical points in the flight of a soccer ball. Pupils use an interactive resource to find the vertex and x-intercepts of the graph of the trajectory of a soccer ball after being kicked. Scholars investigate the trajectory...

Find the zeros on a given graph of a quadratic equation. What does this mean? It means to find the values at which the parabola crosses the x-axis. It seems pretty straightforward to be able to look at a graph and identify the points at...

The zero of a function is the x-value of a function that makes a function equal zero. I know, it sounds confusing. So watch this video as the teacher demonstrates what this means.

Some lessons feature videos, some interactive practice problems, and some have notes and activities. This comprehensive look at factoring and solving polynomial equations using the zero product principle has all of this and more. Though...

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...
