Intro To Quadratic Equation

This document introduces the concept of zeros of quadratic functions. It defines the zeros as the x-intercepts of the graph of a quadratic function, which correspond to the roots of the related quadratic equation. It provides examples of finding the zeros from algebraic expressions, graphs, and tables of values. Examples are worked through to illustrate identifying the zeros from these representations.

Finding Zeros of Quadratic
Functions
 
• Recall that the standard form of a quadratic equation in one variables is
• The related quadratic function determined by this equation is

Frelie Faylogna
 
• The solutions of are numbers called roots of the equation. The zeros of a quadratic
function correspond to the roots of the corresponding quadratic equation.
• The graph of the quadratic function may or may not intersect the x axis.
• The intersections of the graph with the x axis, or the x intercepts, are also called the
zeros of the function

Frelie Faylogna
• The zeros of a function are very important in graphing. These are the x coordinates
of a point where the parabola intersects the x axis.
• A parabola may intersect the x axis twice, once, or not at all.

EXAMPLES

Frelie Faylogna
 
A. Find the zeros the function and the roots of the related quadratic equation.

Solution
 
Let f(x) = 0
 
Factor the left member (
 
Solve for x
 

The x intercepts are -3 and 2.


The zeros of the function are x = -3 and x = 2
The roots of the related quadratic equation are -3 and 2.
Frelie Faylogna
 
The graph of the function intersects the x axis twice at points (-3, 0) and (2, 0).

Frelie Faylogna
The zeroes of a function can be identified from its graph.

The parabola in Figure 1 intersects the x axis


twice.

Frelie Faylogna
The zeroes of a function can be identified from its graph.

The parabola in Figure 2 intersects the x axis


once.

Frelie Faylogna
The zeroes of a function can be identified from its graph.

In Figure 3, there is no zero of the function


because there is no x intercept.

Frelie Faylogna
Sometimes, zeros of a function can also be identified from its table of values.

Frelie Faylogna
 
B. 1. The pairs of values for the function is shown.
In which ordered pair is g(x) = 0?

The zeros of the function are -1 and 3.
