This lesson introduces quadratic equations and graphs. Equations of the form \(ax^2 + c = 0\) are solved via extraction of roots.
The lesson begins with a situation where the height of a pop fly in baseball is modeled using a quadratic equation.
The lesson begins with an exploration of the family of graphs of \(y = ax^2\), with an emphasis on tracking the changes in the \(y\)-values for differing values of the parameter \(a\).
This lesson introduces completing the square as a means of expanding the set of quadratic equations that may be solved beyond the extraction of roots and factoring.
This activity begins by reviewing conversions between fractions and decimals with an emphasis on repeating decimals.
