GRADE 9 – QUADRATIC INEQUALITIES

Learning Competency:
models real-life situations using quadratic functions.

Concept
QUADRATIC FUNCTION
A univariate (single-variable)
quadratic function has the form;
f(x) = ax2 + bx + c

in the single variable x. The graph

of a univariate quadratic
function is a parabola whose axis
of symmetry is parallel to the y-
axis, as shown at right.

zero, then the result is a quadratic equation. The solutions to the univariate
equation are called the roots of the univariate function

QUADRATIC FUNCTION IN REAL-LIFE

Mall of Asia conducted Fireworks display as one of the

activities for the celebration of their 10th year operations.
If a rocket (firework) is launched with an initial velocity of
39.2 meters per second at a height of 1.6 meters above
the ground,

Here the rocket illustrates a path of a quadratic function
