8.5 HW #18 all,. 9-47 (e.o.o.), 49, 53

y is a function of x if for each independent variable there exists a
unique dependent variable .

y is a function of x if for each x there exists only one y.

Domain?

Range?

Vertical Line Test : If a vertical line intersects the graph of the
relation in more than one point then the relation is not a function.

The graph below shows the (hypothetical) relationship between fuel
economy and speed.

Deepening Understanding:

1. What is the relationship between the x- intercepts and the solutions to the quadratic equation

2. What would you conjecture about the number and type of x-intercepts
for a perfect square trinomial ?

A quadratic function has a vertex at (-2, 1) and passes through the
point (2,-7).

What other (easy-to-find) point is on the graph of the quadratic
function?

What is the vertex form of this quadratic function?

The quadratic formula was used to find that, for a certain quadratic
function:

1. What is the axis of symmetry for this quadratic function ?

2. What are the xintercepts?
