What is a quadratic equation?

• Any equation in the form• The highest power (called the degree) is always 2

What is a quadratic function?

→ Any equation of the form                                  or 

The difference between a quadratic function and a quadratic equation is:

→ a quadratic equation is set equal to 0 or a constant.→ a quadratic function is set to equal f(x) or y

Quadratic Equations 

Terminology

• Graphs have x­intercepts  • Quadratic functions have zeros • Quadratic equations have roots 

→ Roots are solutions to any quadratic equation.→ The roots of a quadratic equation are equal to the x­intercepts of the parabola→ The roots of a quadratic equation are equal to the zeros of the function f(x)

The number of real roots or solutions a quadratic equation has in standard formax2 + bx + c = 0 is the number of times the corresponding parabola y = ax2 + bx + c intersects the x­axis. 

The roots of a quadratic equation are the x­intercepts of the graph of the corresponding function. There may be two, one or no solution.

Solving quadratics by graphing

1. Rearrange the equation so that all terms are on one side of the equation and the equation equals 0

2. Graph the corresponding function.3. The solutions are the x­intercepts of the graph. Some solutions may need 

to be estimated. (Graphing software such as desmos or gracalc can help you with this.)

Example 3:  The path of a football at one particular kick­off can be modelled using the function h(d) = ­0.02d 2 + 2.6d ­ 66.5 , where h is the height of the ball above the ground (yards) and d is the horizontal distance from the kicking team’s goal line (yards).

(a)  What are the x­intercepts? What do they mean in the context of the problem? Why are there two x­intercepts? 

(b)  What horizontal distance does the ball travel before it hits the ground?
