Maximum and Minimum Values
Maximum or Minimum Value of a Quadratic Function

The y-coordinate of the vertex of a quadratic function is the maximum or minimum value of the function.
The graph of f(x ) ax 2 bx c, where a 0, opens up and has a minimum when a 0. The graph opens down and has a maximum when a 0.

Determine whether each function has a maximum or minimum value. Then find the maximum or minimum value of each function. a. f(x) 3x 2 6x 7 For this function, a 3 and b 6. Since a 0, the graph opens up, and the function has a minimum value. The minimum value is the y-coordinate of the vertex. The x-coordinate of the b 6 vertex is 1.
2a 2(3)

Example

b. f(x) 100 2x x 2 For this function, a 1 and b 2. Since a 0, the graph opens down, and the function has a maximum value. The maximum value is the y-coordinate of the vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex b 2 is 1.
2a 2( 1)

Evaluate the function at x 1 to find the minimum value. f(1) 3(1)2 6(1) 7 4, so the minimum value of the function is 4.

Evaluate the function at x 1 to find the maximum value. f( 1) 100 2( 1) ( 1)2 101, so the minimum value of the function is 101.

Helping You Remember
4. How can you remember the way to use the x2 term of a quadratic function to tell whether the function has a maximum or a minimum value? Sample answer:

Remember that the graph of f(x) x 2 (with a 0) is a U-shaped curve that opens up and has a minimum. The graph of g(x) x 2 (with a 0) is just the opposite. It opens down and has a maximum.

Solving Quadratic Equations by Graphing
Estimate Solutions Example
2 2(1) x f (x) 1 1 0 2

Often, you may not be able to find exact solutions to quadratic equations by graphing. But you can use the graph to estimate solutions.

Solve x 2 2x 2 0 by graphing. If exact roots cannot be found, state the consecutive integers between which the roots are located. The equation of the axis of symmetry of the related function is x 1, so the vertex has x-coordinate 1. Make a table of values.

The x-intercepts of the graph are between 2 and 3 and between 0 and 1. So one solution is between 2 and 3, and the other solution is between 0 and 1.

Graphing Absolute Value Equations
You can solve absolute value equations in much the same way you solved quadratic equations. Graph the related absolute value function for each equation using a graphing calculator. Then use the ZERO feature in the CALC menu to find its real solutions, if any. Recall that solutions are points where the graph intersects the x-axis. For each equation, make a sketch of the related graph and find the solutions rounded to the nearest hundredth. 1. | x 5| 0 2. | 4x 3| 5 0 3. | x 7| 0

Helping You Remember
3. A good way to remember a concept is to represent it in more than one way. Describe an algebraic way and a graphical way to recognize a quadratic equation that has a double root.

Sample answer: Algebraic: Write the equation in the standard form ax 2 bx c 0 and examine the trinomial. If it is a perfect square trinomial, the quadratic function has a double root. Graphical: Graph the related quadratic function. If the parabola has exactly one x-intercept, then the equation has a double root.

4. How can you use the rules for squaring a binomial to help you remember the procedure for changing a binomial into a perfect square trinomial?

One of the rules for squaring a binomial is (x y) 2 x 2 2xy y 2. In completing the square, you are starting with x 2 bx and need to find y 2. This shows you that b 2y, so y b . That is why you must take half of

the coefficient and square it to get the constant that must be added to complete the square.

Helping You Remember
3. How can looking at the Quadratic Formula help you remember the relationships between the value of the discriminant and the number of roots of a quadratic equation and whether the roots are real or complex?

Sample answer: The discriminant is the expression under the radical in the Quadratic Formula. Look at the Quadratic Formula and consider what happens when you take the principal square root of b2 4ac and apply in front of the result. If b2 4ac is positive, its principal square root will be a positive number and applying will give two different real solutions, which may be rational or irrational. If b2 4ac 0, its principal square root is 0, so applying in the Quadratic Formula will only lead to one solution, which will be rational (assuming a, b, and c are integers). If b 2 4ac is negative, since the square roots of negative numbers are not real numbers, you will get two complex roots, corresponding to the and in the symbol.

Sum and Product of Roots
Sometimes you may know the roots of a quadratic equation without knowing the equation itself. Using your knowledge of factoring to solve an equation, you can work backward to find the quadratic equation. The rule for finding the sum and product of roots is as follows:
Sum and Product of Roots If the roots of ax 2 then s1 s2 bx c s2 b and s1 a

0, with a ! 0, are s1 and s2, c . a

A road with an initial gradient, or slope, of 3% can be represented by the formula y ax2 0. 03x c, where y is the elevation and x is the distance along the curve. Suppose the elevation of the road is 1105 feet at points 200 feet and 1000 feet along the curve. You can find the equation of the transition curve. Equations of transition curves are used by civil engineers to design smooth and safe roads. The roots are x 3 ( 8) 5 3( 8) 24 Equation: x2 5x 3 and x

It moves the graph up.
• What does subtracting a positive number to x before squaring do to the graph of y x2? It moves the graph to the right.

Reading the Lesson
1. Complete the following information about the graph of y a. What are the coordinates of the vertex? (h, k) b. What is the equation of the axis of symmetry? x c. In which direction does the graph open if a d. What do you know about the graph if "a" a(x h)2 k.

Helping You Remember
3. When graphing quadratic functions such as y (x 4)2 and y (x 5)2, many students have trouble remembering which represents a translation of the graph of y x2 to the left and which represents a translation to the right. What is an easy way to remember this?

Sample answer: In functions like y (x 4)2, the plus sign puts the graph “ahead” so that the vertex comes “sooner” than the origin and the translation is to the left. In functions like y (x 5)2, the minus puts the graph “behind” so that the vertex comes “later” than the origin and the translation is to the right.

To graph a quadratic inequality in two variables, use

the following steps:

Graph Quadratic Inequalities

1. Graph the related quadratic equation, y ax2 bx c. Use a dashed line for or ; use a solid line for or . 2. Test a point inside the parabola. If it satisfies the inequality, shade the region inside the parabola; otherwise, shade the region outside the parabola.

Example

Graph the inequality y

6x

7. y First graph the equation y x2 6x 7. By completing the square, you get the vertex form of the equation y (x 3)2 2, so the vertex is ( 3, 2). Make a table of values around x 3, and graph. Since the inequality includes , use a dashed line. Test the point ( 3, 0), which is inside the parabola. Since ( 3)2 6( 3) 7 2, and 0 2, ( 3, 0) satisfies the inequality. Therefore, shade the region inside the parabola.

Graphing and Solving Quadratic Inequalities graphically or algebraically.

Solve Quadratic Inequalities

Quadratic inequalities in one variable can be solved

Graphical Method

To solve ax 2 bx c 0: First graph y ax 2 bx c. The solution consists of the x-values for which the graph is below the x-axis. To solve ax 2 bx c 0: First graph y ax 2 bx c. The solution consists the x-values for which the graph is above the x-axis. Find the roots of the related quadratic equation by factoring, completing the square, or using the Quadratic Formula. 2 roots divide the number line into 3 intervals. Test a value in each interval to see which intervals are solutions.

Algebraic Method

Demonstrate your knowledge by giving a clear, concise solution to each problem. Be sure to include all relevant drawings and justify your answers. You may show your solution in more than one way or investigate beyond the requirements of the problem. 1. Mr. Moseley asked the students in his Algebra class to work in groups to solve (x 3)2 25, stating that each student in the first group to solve the equation correctly would earn five bonus points on the next quiz. Mi-Ling’s group solved the equation using the Square Root Property. Emilia’s group used the Quadratic Formula to find the solutions. In which group would you prefer to be? Explain your reasoning. 2. The next day, Mr. Moseley had his students work in pairs to review for their chapter exam. He asked each student to write a practice problem for his or her partner. Len wrote the following problem for his partner, Jocelyn: Write an equation for the parabola whose vertex is ( 3, 4), that passes through ( 1, 0), and that opens downward. a. Jocelyn had trouble solving Len’s problem. Explain why. b. How would you change Len’s problem? c. Make the change you suggested in part b and complete the problem. 3. a. Write a quadratic function in vertex form whose maximum value is 8. b. Write a quadratic function that transforms the graph of your function from part a so that it is shifted horizontally. Explain the change you made and describe the transformation that results from this change. 4. When asked to write f(x) 2x2 12x 5 in vertex form, Joseph wrote: f(x) 2x2 12x 5 Step 1 f(x) 2(x2 6x) 5 Step 2 f(x) 2(x2 6x 9) 5 9 Step 3 f(x) 2(x 3)2 4 Is Joseph’s answer correct? Explain your reasoning. 5. The graph of y x2 4x 4 is shown. Susan used this graph to solve three quadratic inequalities. Her three solutions are given below. Replace each ! with an inequality symbol ( , , , ) so that each solution is correct. Explain your reasoning for each. a. The solution of x2 4x 4 ! 0 is {x x 2 or x 2}. 2 b.

Graphing Absolute Value Equations
You can solve absolute value equations in much the same way you solved quadratic equations. Graph the related absolute value function for each equation using a graphing calculator. Then use the ZERO feature in the CALC menu to find its real solutions, if any. Recall that solutions are points where the graph intersects the x-axis. For each equation, make a sketch of the related graph and find the solutions rounded to the nearest hundredth. 1. | x 5| 0 2. | 4x 3| 5 0 3. | x 7|

Sample answer: The basic facts about a subject are sometimes called the ABCs. In the case of zeros, the ABCs are the XYZs, because the zeros are the x-values that make the y-values equal to zero.
10. Explain how solving absolute value equations algebraically and finding zeros of absolute value functions graphically are related.

Sample answer: values of x when solving algebraically are the x-intercepts (or zeros) of the function when graphed.

Euler’s Formula for Prime Numbers
Many mathematicians have searched for a formula that would generate prime numbers. One such formula was proposed by Euler and uses a quadratic polynomial, x2 x 41. Find the values of x2 x 41 for the given values of x. State whether each value of the polynomial is or is not a prime number.

It represents the area of the rectangle, since the area is the product of the width and length.

Sample answer: Marla used the wrong factors. Larry used the correct factors but multiplied them incorrectly.

13. Does the formula produce all prime numbers greater than 40? Give examples in your answer.

Helping You Remember
3. A good way to remember a concept is to represent it in more than one way. Describe an algebraic way and a graphical way to recognize a quadratic equation that has a double root.

No. Among the primes omitted are 59, 67, 73, 79, 89, 101, 103, 107, 109, and 127.

Sample answer: Algebraic: Write the equation in the standard form ax 2 bx c 0 and examine the trinomial. If it is a perfect square trinomial, the quadratic function has a double root. Graphical: Graph the related quadratic function. If the parabola has exactly one x-intercept, then the equation has a double root.

Sample answer: The discriminant is the expression under the radical in the Quadratic Formula. Look at the Quadratic Formula and consider what happens when you take the principal square root of b2 4ac and apply in front of the result. If b2 4ac is positive, its principal square root will be a positive number and applying will give two different real solutions, which may be rational or irrational. If b2 4ac 0, its principal square root is 0, so applying in the Quadratic Formula will only lead to one solution, which will be rational (assuming a, b, and c are integers). If b 2 4ac is negative, since the square roots of negative numbers are not real numbers, you will get two complex roots, corresponding to the and in the symbol.

Graphing and Solving Quadratic Inequalities graphically or algebraically.

Graph Quadratic Inequalities the following steps:

Solve Quadratic Inequalities

Quadratic inequalities in one variable can be solved

1. Graph the related quadratic equation, y ax2 bx c. Use a dashed line for or ; use a solid line for or . 2. Test a point inside the parabola. If it satisfies the inequality, shade the region inside the parabola; otherwise, shade the region outside the parabola.
Graphical Method

To solve ax 2 bx c 0: First graph y ax 2 bx c. The solution consists of the x-values for which the graph is below the x-axis. To solve ax 2 bx c 0: First graph y ax 2 bx c. The solution consists the x-values for which the graph is above the x-axis. Find the roots of the related quadratic equation by factoring, completing the square, or using the Quadratic Formula. 2 roots divide the number line into 3 intervals. Test a value in each interval to see which intervals are solutions.

Example

Graph the inequality y

x2

6x

7. y First graph the equation y x2 6x 7. By completing the square, you get the vertex form of the equation y (x 3)2 2, so the vertex is ( 3, 2). Make a table of values around x 3, and graph. Since the inequality includes , use a dashed line. Test the point ( 3, 0), which is inside the parabola. Since ( 3)2 6( 3) 7 2, and 0 2, ( 3, 0) satisfies the inequality. Therefore, shade the region inside the parabola.

Graph each inequality. 1. y x2 y First find the roots of the related equation x2 x 6 0. The equation factors as (x 3)(x 2) 0, so the roots are 3 and 2. The graph opens up with x-intercepts 3 and 2, so it must be on or below the x-axis for 2 x 3. Therefore the solution set is {x" 2 x 3}.

Chapter 6 Assessment Answer Key
Page 367, Open-Ended Assessment Sample Answers
In addition to the scoring rubric found on page A28, the following sample answers may be used as guidance in evaluating open-ended assessment items. 1. Student responses should indicate that using the Square Root Property, as Mi-Ling’s group did, would take less time than the other two methods since the equation is already set up as a perfect square set equal to a constant. To solve using either of the other two methods, the binomial would need to be expanded and the constant on the right brought to the left side of the equal sign. 2a. Jocelyn had trouble because the problem is impossible. No such parabola exists. 2b. Student responses will vary. One of the three conditions must be omitted or modified. Sample answer: Delete “...and passes through ( 1, 0).” 2c. Answers will vary and depend on the answer for part b. For example, for the sample answer in part b above, a possible equation is: y 2(x 3)2 4. 3a. Answer must be of the form y a(x h)2 8 where h is any real number and a 0. 3b. Answers must be of the form y a[x (h n)]2 8 where h and a represent the same values as in part a. The student choice is for the value of n. The student should indicate that the graph will shift to the left n units if his or her value of n is negative, but will shift the graph to the right n units if the chosen value of n is positive. 4. Students should indicate that Joseph’s answer is not correct. In Step 2, when he completed the square by inserting 9 inside the parentheses, he actually added 2(9) 18 to the right side of the equation, so he must subtract 18 from the constant on the same side, rather than add 9, to keep the statements equivalent. The correct solution is f(x) 2(x 3)2 23. 5a. ; The graph is strictly above the x-axis for all values of x other than 2. 5b. ; The graph is never below the x-axis. 5c. ; The graph is always on or above the x-axis.

Learning mathematics in primacy school may have been a positive experience but it may have also been filled with frustration and anxiety. If a teacher has a negative view of mathematics then their students will adopt this view. Students must be shown the relevance and purpose of mathematics in a real life and meaningful way. There is no doubt that mathematics is an indispensable tool for understanding our world. As we move through the twenty-first century no one can be clear on what mathematics will be needed, but it is clear that students will need to know how to reason mathematically and apply mathematical thinking to a wide range of situations (Reys, R. E., Lindquist, M. M., Lambdin, D. V., Smith, N. L., Rogers, A., Falle, J., Frid, S., Bennett, S. (2012). Helping Children Learn Mathematics (1st Australian ed.).
