This activity explores the characteristics of the graphs of quadratic, cubic, and quartic functions. The graphing calculator will be used to generate graphs and derivatives of these functions.

This is the first of a series of tasks aiming at understanding the quadratic formula in a geometric way in terms of the graph of a quadratic function. Here the student works with an explicit function and studies the impact of additive...

Students will compare the graph of Y=x^2 with the graph of the given functions

The purpose of this task is to give learners the opportunity to make connections between equations and the geometry of the graphs. Aligns with A-REI.C.7and A-REI.D.10.

Graph quadratic functions given in the standard form.

Students draw a dynamic graph of the quadratic function with interactive parameters. They understand that there is only one graph of the function that changes dynamically as the values of the parameters change.

The mathematics tutorial explores how to solve linear and quadratic systems of equations. The lesson consists of class notes, calculator tips, examples, and practice problems with solutions. The teacher resource includes a worksheet that...

Students practice with the parameters of the vertex form of the parabola and their effect on the shape of the curve. They use this concept to find a quadratic model. They also use translation and dilation to change the general parabola.

Using this tutorial, you'll learn two methods of solving quadratic inequalities: using a sign graph of factors and using the test-point method. Offers step-by-step written examples, and practice problems for you to complete.

TI Explorations books has a great activity for TI InterActive! in graphing parabolas in vertex form. What if you don't have TI InterActive! or a lab to take your students, but you do have a class set of TI-83 or TI-84. This activity...
