Overall Curriculum Expectations for this Unit:

By the end of this course, students will:

A1• determine the basic properties of quadratic relations;

A2• relate transformations of the graph of y = x2 to the algebraic representation y = a(x – h)2 + k;

A3• solve quadratic equations and interpret the solutions with respect to the corresponding relations;

• solve problems involving quadratic relations.

 

 

Specific Curriculum Expectations for this Unit:

Students should be able to expand and factor quadratic expressions using a variety of tools.

Students should be able to graph the base function as well as all transformations of the form:

Students should be able to solve quadratic equations using different strategies.

 

Students should be able to model real life problems using quadratic functions and use that model in order to determine/calculate variables of interest.
