    3.1 Quadratic Functions and Applications

    ① Graph a Quadratic Function written in Vertex Form


    Quadratic Function : A function defined by f(x) = ax2 + bx + c (a  0).
    It can also be expressed in the vertex form as f(x) = a(x−h)2 + k
    The graph of f(x) is a parabola with vertex (h, k).
    Vertex Form

    f ( x) = ax + bx + c = a ( x − h) + k

    ③ Solve Applications Involving Quadratic Functions

    Example 3:
    A stone is thrown from a 35-m cliff at an initial speed of 60 m/s at a
    angle of 30 from the horizontal. The height of the stone can be modeled
    by h(t) = −5t2 + 30t + 35 in meters and t is the time in seconds after the
    stone is released.
    a) Determine the time at which the stone is at its maximum height.
    b) Determine the time at which the stone will hit the ground.

    Example 4:
    A rectangular parking lot is to be constructed against a long and
    solid wall. The developer has purchased 200 m of fencing.
    a) Determine the dimensions for the parking lot that would
    maximize its area.
    b) What is the maximum area of the parking lot.
