In this chapter, you are challenged to make connections between the different representations of a quadratic function. You will generate each representation of a quadratic function (equation, graph, table, and situation) from each of the others to create a quadratic functions web, and you will discover efficient ways to sketch the graph of a parabola.
You will also use the methods of factoring and the Zero Product Property, completing the square, and the Quadratic Formula to solve quadratic equations. You will study different forms of quadratic equations and see how they can be used in everyday situations.
