NOTES:

Given a quadratic function in standard format (y = ax² + bx + c), the direction of the parabola is as follows:

if "a" is positive, then opens UP
if "a" is negative, then opens DOWN

Given a quadratic function in standard format (y = ax² + bx + c), the vertex can be found as follows:

the Axis Of Symmetry (x-value) is: x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$
y-value is found by plugging in the AOS for "x" in the equation

****************************************************************************************

1) y = x² + 11x + 24

a = +1 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-11}{2(1)}$ = $-\frac{11}{2}$

y = $(-\frac{11}{2})^{2}$ + 11 $(-\frac{11}{2} )$ + 24 = $-\frac{25}{4}$

vertex $(-\frac{11}{2}$ , $-\frac{25}{4})$ is in Quadrant 3 and is below the x-axis

This COULD be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, x-intercepts (-3, 0) and (-8, 0), and y-intercept (0, 24)

******************************************************************************************

2) y = -x² - 6x - 8

a = -1 so the parabola opens DOWN

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-(-6)}{2(-1)}$ = $\frac{6}{-2}$ = -3

y = -(-3)² - 6(-3) - 8 = -9 + 18 - 8 = 1

vertex (-3, 1) is in Quadrant 2 and is above the x-axis

This could NOT be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, x-intercepts (-2, 0) and (-4, 0), and y-intercept (0, -8)

******************************************************************************************

3) y = x² - 2x + 3

a = 1 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-(-2)}{2(1)}$ = $\frac{2}{2}$ = 1

y = (1)² - 2(1) + 3 = 1 - 2 + 3 = 2

vertex (1, 2) is in Quadrant 1 and is above the x-axis

This could NOT be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, y-intercept (0, 3), and its mirror image (2, 3). There are no x-intercepts

******************************************************************************************

4) y = x² + 4x + 4

a = 1 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-4}{2(1)}$ = -2

y = (-2)² + 4(-2) + 4 = 4 - 8 + 4 = 0

vertex (-2, 0) is in Quadrant 2 and is on the x-axis

This COULD be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, y-intercept (0, 4), and its mirror image (-4, 4). The x-intercept is the vertex.

Compared to the other four graphs, this is most likely the equation for the rain gauge!

******************************************************************************************

5) y = 3x² + 21x + 30

a = +3 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-21}{2(3)}$ = $-\frac{7}{2}$

y = 3 $(-\frac{7}{2})^{2}$ + 21 $(-\frac{7}{2} )$ + 30 = $-\frac{27}{4}$

vertex $(-\frac{7}{2}$ , $-\frac{27}{4})$ is in Quadrant 3 and is below the x-axis

This COULD be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, x-intercepts (-2, 0) and (-5, 0), and y-intercept (0, 30)

Answer:

A two story home might use translation to have both floors identical and most homes have windows of the same size and shape so they might also use translation. Sometimes buildings use reflection to make rooms opposite each other the same.
