§12.5 Quadratic formulas

+  §12.4 Linear formulas was about  STRAIGHT LINES. 

+ §12.5 Quadratic formulas is about  PARABOLAS.   

Graphs, graphs, graphs ...

As some graphs will be drawn by you in this paragraph,

now take before you:

+ your Notebook 

+ a pencil, eraser and geo 

In other words: The Right Stuff.     

Remember your answer and key it in in the next slide.

Quadratic formulas are:

1. abcd
2. abc
3. abd
4. c

Solution:

As you've just learned, in order to be a Quadratic Formula,

there must be a SQUARE of a VARIABLE in it!

So this rings true for: a, b and d.

Formula c contains a square all right, but not the square of a variable!

Have you got a clue...

what the GRAPH for the FORMULA             = 

looks like?

Next 2 slides show you all about it.

And more!

This is the 'Mother' of all

Quadratic Graphs!

Some points of attention for 

the graph of:            =

+ watch the nicely rounded shape

+ it's name is: a PARABOLA

+ some 'easy to find' points in the 

    table are: (3, 9), (1, 1) but also:

    (-3,9) and (-1,1)

 This GRAPH for the formula:

y =            is ....

the BASIC QUADRATIC GRAPH!

In this paragraph you will

meet more quadratic graphs, that

are all variations of this one.

Next slide shows you a graph that is derived from (=afgeleid van) the

Basic graph.

Task:

What is the main difference 

between this graph and the one

for                                           ?

Teacher gives a few turns to several pupils.

y=x​2​​

Now follow a few tasks to ...

give you the neccessary practice for doing the

Homework.

Calculate when x = -6

y=x​2​​

1. -36
2. 12
3. -12
4. 36

Solution:

y = 

when we fill in:  x = -6,  we need BRACKETS:

y =             = -6 x -6 = 36   (and not -36!)

Let's practice a bit more with this, as it will make doing

your homework easier!

TASK:       

Now when x = -4,

calculate 

Remember and key in, in the next slide!

y=x​2​​−3

y

Calculate , when

y=x​2​​−3

x=−4

1. -13
2. -7
3. -11
4. 13

SOLUTION:               y =      -3

Now when x = -4,  we replace the variable      by  -4, as follows:

y =            - 3  =            -3  =  -4  x  -4  -3 = 16 - 3 = 13

Homework time - later a little more information

about §12.5 follows in this Lesson Up.

Do:    §12.5 Quadratic formulas  

Havo and H/V,  Do: S37, 37, 38, S39 and 39

VWO,                     Do: 38, 39, 40, C9 and C10

NOTE:     Study the Theory parts when they come up!

Finally ...

You'll learn how to CHECK if a certain point lies on a graph.

We will study the Method HOW to check this.

If this isn't clear to you, then

 study the Method on p.188, when doing the Homework.

Suppose you have a graph and a point ...

and you want to know IF that point lies on the graph.

What to do to know for sure?

Let's study the Theory in the next slide together.
