Unit 8.1 - Factoring Polynomials
Big Ideas
In Chapter 2, you used a web to organize the connections you found between each of the different representations of lines. These connections enabled you to use any representation (such as a graph, rule, situation or table) to find any of the other representations. You did the same thing in Unit 5 for Exponential Functions.
In this chapter, a quadratics web will challenge you to find connections between the different representations of a quadratic function. Through this endeavor, you will learn how to rewrite quadratic equations in several forms and how to use your graphing calculator to assist you.
