Study Guide - Quiz # 5
  1. Solve a quadratic equation using factoring (problems like p. 156 # 7-22 and on-line RUReady problems under Solving Quadratic Equations).
  2. Solve a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula (problems like p. 156 # 22-34 and on-line RUReady problems under Solving Quadratic Equations).
  3. Given a quadratic function in vertex form, f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k, determine whether it has a minimum or maximum value, find that maximum or minimum, and graph the function (problems like p. 164 # 17-20).
  4. Find the vertex of a quadratic function in standard form, f(x) = ax2 + bx + c-- by using the h = -b/2a formula and k = f(h) and determine whether the vertex is a maximum or minimum value for the function (problems like p. 164 #1-8 and on-line RUReady problems under Quadratic Functions).
  5. Solve a supply-demand-market equilibrium and a break-even point-maximization problem involving quadratic functions (problems like p. 173-174 # 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 17, 18, 25).
  6. Identify which of several graphs corresponds to a given piecewise-defined function (problems like p. 185-186 # 11-14).
  7. Use a piecewise-defined function to answer an applications problem (problems like p. 189 # 46-50).
