Use quadratic equations to solve real-world problems.


Remarks


Example: You have just planted a rectangular garden of corn in a plot near your home. You want to plant a uniform border of carrots around the rows of corn as shown in the figure below. According to the amount of seeds you have, you need an equal amount of area for corn and carrots. What should the width, x, in feet, of the border be?

Unit/Lesson Sequence

Name Description
Quadratic Functions: Workshop 4 Lesson 1 of two lessons requires students to explore quadratic functions by examining the family of functions described by y = a (x - h)squared+ k. In Lesson 2 students explore quadratic functions by using a motion detector known as a Calculator Based Ranger (CBR) to examine the heights of the different bounces of a ball. Students will represent each bounce with a quadratic function of the form y = a (x - h)squared + k. Background information, resources, references and videos of the lessons are included. Students work in teams of four.
