Student will solve quadratics by using the quadratic formula. Quadratic equations lend themselves to modeling situations that happen in real life such as the rise and fall of profits from selling goods the decrease and increase in the amount of time it takes to run a mile based on your age and so on. This is always true for these updown projectile motion problems.
First we need to get the quadratic equation in standard form.
This case as you will see in later classes is of prime importance. 1 Now let me remind you that for general quadratic function fx the minimummaximum is at x. The wonderful part of having something that can be modeled. Define all of the variables.
