Domain - Seeing Structure in Expressions
Cluster - Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems.
[AI.A-SSE.B.3.b] - Complete the square in a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the function it defines.
- Function
A mathematical relation for which each element of the domain corresponds to exactly one element of the range. - Quadratic expression
An expression that contains the square of the variable, but no higher power of it.
[AI.A-REI.B.4.a] -
Use the method of completing the square to transform any quadratic equation in x into an equation of the form (x – p)2 = q that has the same solutions. Derive the quadratic formula from this form.
[AI.F-IF.C.8.a] -
Use the process of factoring and completing the square in a quadratic function to show zeros, maximum/minimum values, and symmetry of the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context.
