Title: Quadratic Functions3
1Quadratic Functions(3)
- What is a perfect square.
- How to make and complete the square.
- Sketching using completed square
2A perfect square
What do we get if we factorise x2 10x 25
This is called a perfect square because it can
be written as (x5)2.
Can you think of an expression for a perfect
cube??
3Solving Quadratic Equations
- We will now look at solving quadratic equations
using completing the square method.
4Complete the square for y x2 10x 12
Use (x 5)2 x2 10x 25
x2 10x 12 x2 10x 25 - 13
x2 10x 12 (x 5)2 - 13
y (x 5)2 - 13
is complete square form
5Solving Equations using the completed square
Solve x2 10x 12 0
Complete the square ..
(x 5)2 - 13 0
(x 5)2 13
(x 5) ??13
x -5 ??13
x -5 ?13 or -5 - ?13
x -1.39 or -8.61
The solutions
6Complete the square for y x2 - 20x - 30
Use (x - 10)2 x2 - 20x 100
x2 - 20x - 30 x2 - 20x 100 - 130
x2 - 20x - 30 (x - 10)2 - 130
y (x - 10)2 - 130
is completed square form

8Complete the square for y 2x2 - 14x - 33
Adjust to make a single x2 y 2(x2 - 7x -
16.5)
Use (x - 3.5)2 x2 - 7x 12.25
x2 - 7x - 16.5 x2 - 7x 12.25 - 28.75
2(x2 - 7x - 16.5) 2((x - 3.5)2 - 28.75)
y 2((x - 3.5)2 - 28.75)
y 2(x - 3.5)2 57.5
is complete square form
9Solving Equations using the completed square
Solve 2x2 - 14x - 33 0
x2 - 7x 16.5 0 (divide both sides
by 2)
Complete the square (from previous slide)..
(x - 3.5)2 - 28.75 0
(x - 3.5)2 28.75
(x - 3.5) ??28.75
x 3.5 ??28.75
x 3.5 ?28.75 or 3.5 - ?28.75
x 8.86 or -1.86

13Quadratic graphs
This is a translation of the graph ykx2 by the
vector
14Finding critical values on graphs
- Find the y-intercept
- Find the x-intercept(s)
- Find the vertex
15Finding the y-intercept
Intercepts y-axis when x0
16Finding the x-intercept(s)
Intercepts x-axis when y0
Does it factorise??
x-2 and x-8
17Finding the vertex
Find translation from yx2 by writing in
completed square form.
Vertex must be at (-5,-9)
18Finding critical values on graphs
- Find the y-intercept (0,16)
- Find the x-intercept(s) (-2,0) (-8,0)
- Find the vertex (-5,-9)
Now sketch this graph
