Quadratic Functions, equations and inequalities

This unit bundles student expectations that investigate and explore the characteristics and applications of quadratic functions, equations, and inequalities. In addition, the quadratic parent function is introduced and effects of parameter changes on the graph of the parent function are explored.

What does "a" do to the Graph?

Students will learn what the coefficient of x squared does the parabola.

What does "b" do to the graph?

Students will learn what the constant b does to the parabola.
