Follow Up/HW:
What are we learning?
Daily Objective:
 Students will identify the characteristics of a quadratic function from its graph.
 Students will graph quadratic equations on the coordinate plane
 Students will define and identify the roots of a quadratic equation.
TEKS/AP/Standards:
Ⓡ ALGII.6A Determine the reasonable domain and range values of a quadratic function
represented by a table of values, graph, function rule, or a contextual situation, as well as
interpret and determine the reasonableness of solutions to quadratic equations and inequalities.
Friday
Ⓡ ALGII.6B Relate representations of quadratic functions in algebraic, tabular, graphical, and verbal
forms.
Ⓡ ALGII.7A Use characteristics of the quadratic parent function to sketch the related graphs and
connect between the f(x) = ax2 + bx + c and the f(x) = a (x – h)2 + k symbolic representations of
quadratic functions, and write the quadratic function in
f(x) = ax2 + bx + c or f(x) = a (x – h)2 + k given the graph of the function.
Ⓢ ALGII.7B Use the parent function to investigate, describe, and predict the effects of changes in a, h,
and k on the graphs of y = a(x – h)2 + k form of a function and what those changes in symbolic
representation may mean in a real world applications
