Unit 8 -- Quadratic Functions
Lesson 1
CCSS F.IF.4
I can...interpret key features of graphs and tables.
I can... create a sketch of a quadratic function showing key features.
I can...compare and contrast the domain and range of a given function.
Warmup -1) The elephant population in northwestern Namibia and Etosha
National Park can be predicted by the expression y =2649(1.045)x,
where x is the number of years since 1995.
a) what does the value 2649 represent?
b) if this continues until the year 2020 will the
elephant population be increasing or decreasing? how
do you know?
2) Jerome is constructing a table of values that satisfies the
definition of a function.

Review: linear function
f(x) = mx + b
creates a line with y-intercept of b and slope m
In this unit we will focus on QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS!!
Engage: Discovering the Parent Quadratic Function
Any function that can be written as
f(x) = ax2 + bx + c
where a, b, and c are constants and a = 0
is a QUADRATIC FUNCTION

function)
f(x) = ______.
The shape this function is a __________ curve called a
_____________. The turning point is called its __________.

Reflect (can be used as an exit ticket):
4a) What can you do to check that your equation is correct?
4b) If the graph of a quadratic function is a translation of the graph of the
parent function, explain how you can use the vertex of the translated graph to
help you determine the equation for the function.
4c) Error Analysis: A student says that the graph of g(x) =(x+2)2 + 1 is the graph of the
parent function translated 2 units to the right and 1 unit up. Explain whether or not this
student is correct -- use a complete sentence.
