Algebra of Functions

Composition of Functions

We explore how when can combine two functions by composing them. That is, how we can plug one function into another to create a new function.

Objectives
Definition of Quadratics
  • What is a quadratic function?
  • What does the graph of a quadratic function look like?
  • Recognize a quadratic in standard form
  • Become familiar with standard vocabulary about quadratic functions.
Vertex Form
  • What is the vertex form of a quadratic?
  • Use completing the square to convert a quadratic in standard form to a quadratic in vertex form.
  • Recognize a quadratic in standard form
  • Become familiar with standard vocabulary about quadratic functions.
Factored Form
  • What is Factored Form or Root Form of a quadratic? How is it the same or different from saying a quadratic is factored?
  • Use factoring to convert quadratics from standard form to Factored Form.
  • Use Factored Form to find the roots of a quadratic
  • Use the Quadratic Formula to find the roots of a quadratic and/or to write the quadratic in Factored Form
