Students identify the maxima and minima of quadratic functions. After a teacher explanation and demonstration of quadratic functions, students solve quadratic equations and graph the solution to find the maxima and minima of each function. They compare graphing to solve the equation to completing the square. Independently, students solve problems. Full Review »

Students are asked to explain the relationship between f(s) and f (-x). They are asked to determine how the equation of f(x) differs from the equation of f(-x). Students determine the conditions when f(x) is the same as f(-x). They graph f(-x). Students define an even function f(x) as any function that holds the property f(-x)=f(x). Full Review »
