1. Emily filled an empty horse trough with water. The water level, in centimeters, is proportional to time elapsed, in minut
es, since she began filling the trough. The graph shows this relationship.
(a) What
rate does the point 8,28 represent?
Explain.
(b) What
is the unit rate for the situation in terms of centimeters/minute? Explain.
(c) Explain
how the points 8,28 and 6,21 show that the water
level varies directly with the time elapsed.

Quadratic Function is a function that takes the equation form of:
where a ≠ 0. However the form of Quadratic Function above can also be called "standard form" or general form because it is commonly used when defining the function. Quadratic Functions also have other two forms which are intercept form and vertex form.
<u>Vertex</u><u> </u><u>Form</u>
<u>Intercept</u><u> </u><u>Form</u>
The intercept form can be expressed as y = (x-a)(x-b) depending on the other perspective.
If you look at all four functions, you will notice that only two of functions have the second degree as highest degree while the third function has third degree as highest and fourth function has fourth degree. Recall the definition of Quadratic Function above that the highest degree of Quadratic Function can only be second degree (squared, x² as example). Therefore we can rule out the x³ and -2x⁴ away.
So our only quadratic functions are:
As for the f(x) = -x²-4. The equation is in standard form which is y = ax²+bx+c. The second equation is in vertex form which is y = a(x-h)²+k.
Answer
- The only quadratic functions are f(x) = -x²-4 and f(x) = (x-1)²-7
- -x²-4 is in standard form.
- (x-1)²-7 is in vertex form.
