IM Alg1.6.16 Practice: Graphing from the Vertex Form
Which equation can be represented by a graph with a vertex at ?
Where is the vertex of the graph that represents ?
Where is the -intercept? Explain how you know.
Identify one other point on the graph of the equation. Explain or show how you know.
Sketch a graph that represents the equation.
The function is defined by . Without graphing, determine if the vertex of the graph representing shows the minimum or maximum value of the function. Explain how you know.
Here is a graph that represents y=x².
Describe what would happen to the graph if the original equation was changed to:
Clare throws a rock into the lake.
The graph shows the rock's height above the water, in feet, as a function of time in seconds.
Select all the statements that describe this situation.
Two objects are launched into the air.
- The height, in feet, of Object A is given by the equation .
- The height, in feet, of the Object B is given by the equation . In both functions, is seconds after launch.
Use technology to graph each function in the same graphing window.
What is the maximum height of each object?
Which object hits the ground first? Explain how you know.
Andre thinks the vertex of the graph of the equation is . Lin thinks the vertex is . Do you agree with either of them?
The expression represents the balance, in dollars, in a savings account. What is the rate of interest paid on the account?
How many years has the account been accruing interest?
How much money was invested?
How much money is in the account now?
Write an equivalent expression to represent the balance in the savings account.
