4.Graph one of your 2nd degree functions from question 1. Identify which function you used and the key features of your graph. Explain how to find them algebraically.

"from question 1" where is question 1? and is there a pic that goes with this?

OpenStudy (gavin39):

1.Your friend runs up to you, scared that he is not ready for the upcoming quadratics test. To help him study, you will create four different quadratic functions. Then demonstrate to him how to rewrite each function as a group of factors, if possible. •The function f(x) is a difference of squares. •The function g(x) is a sum of squares. •The function h(x) is a perfect square trinomial. •The function j(x) can only have a GCF factored out of it.

OpenStudy (gavin39):

That's question 1 and no picture @Gracy_KSL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you know that the first part, you have to come up with some functions that fit those conditions, then factor them! Just looking at the words, what do you think the difference of 2 squares is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"A square is something that is squared, like x^2, 2^2, (3x)^2 etc. and the difference just means one subtracted from another. If one of the two things your squaring has to be a variable (x,y,...) and one has to be subtracted from the other, can you come up with a function?"

OpenStudy (gavin39):

Yeah I got the first part but for some reason just don't know how to do this question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay let's see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"Your friend runs up to you, scared that he is not ready for the upcoming quadratics test. To help him study, you will create four different quadratic functions. Then demonstrate to him how to rewrite each function as a group of factors, if possible. A. The function f(x) is a difference of squares. B.The function g(x) is a sum of squares. C.The function h(x) is a perfect square trinomial. D.The function j(x) can only have a GCF factored out of it."

any guesses?

OpenStudy (gavin39):

Honestly no idea :/ im horrible at this stuff

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i am not super 100% sure at this either but I have two guesses I have to make at this. I think 1 is The function g(x) is a sum of squares. or.... he function f(x) is a difference of squares.

OpenStudy (gavin39):

So those may be the answers for question 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes now remember they MAYBE, but those are only my guesses

OpenStudy (gavin39):

our guess is probably better than mine lol ha. Now what should I put for how to explain it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you think I got those answers do you have any guesses?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean i wasn't just to supposed to show you the answers I was supposed to help you with it

OpenStudy (gavin39):

Lol true and not sure as bad as it sounds. IM homechooled and teacher never answers call to help out so way behind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've helped you in the guesses now you try to find the explanation, alright?!
