 Finding the equation of the
quadratic function given the
zeros
Example 1:
Find the equation of the quadratic
function with the zeros 3 and 5.

3+5 = 8 3(5) = 15
Change the sign Just copy

f(x) = a(x 2 ___x ___)

- 8 +15
Equation
f(x) = a(x 2 -8x+15)
Example 2:
Find the equation of the quadratic
function with the zeros -3 and 5.

-3+5 = 2 (-3)(5)=-15
Change the sign Just copy

f(x) = a(x 2 ___x ___)

- 2 -15
Equation
f(x) = a(x 2 -2x-15)
Example 3:
Find the equation of the quadratic
function with the zeros 3 and -5.

3+(-5) = -2 (3)(-5)=-15
Change the sign Just copy

f(x) = a(x 2 ___x ___)

2 -15
Equation
f(x) = a(x 2 +2x-15)
Example 4:
Find the equation of the quadratic
function with the zeros -3 and -5.
(-3)+(-5) = -8 (-3)(-5)=15
Change the sign Just copy

f(x) = a(x 2 ___x ___)

+8 +15
Equation
f(x) = a(x 2 +8x+15)

table of values
Given the table of values, find the quadratic function.

A. y = x2 C. y = x2 + 2 y 3 2 3
B. y = x2 – 3 D. y = x2 + 4 x -1 0 1
A. y = x2 B. y = x -3
2 C. y = x +2

2 = -3 2=2
Solving Word Problems
Example 1:
A student drops a pen from the top of BEFF building that is 200 feet
tall. What is the height of the pen 2 seconds after it was dropped? The
situation is modeled by the quadratic function h = -16t2 + 200 where t
is the time in seconds, and h is the height in feet.

Solution:

h = -16t2 + 200
h = -16(4) + 200
h = -64 + 200
h =136

The height of the pen 2 seconds after it was dropped is 136 ft

3. Given the table of values,
find the quadratic function.
A. y = x2 C. y = x2 + 2 y 2 5 10
B. y = x2 + 1 D. y = x2 + 3 x 1 2 3
4. Daniel drops a pen from the top of
BEFF building that is 100 feet tall. What
is the height of the pen 5 seconds after it
was dropped? The situation is modeled by
the quadratic function h = -16t2 + 100
where t is the time in seconds, and h is
the height in feet.
