Writing the equation of a quadratic function from the graph
Write an equation for the quadratic function
in
[link] as a transformation of
and then expand the formula, and simplify terms to write the equation in general form.
We can see the graph of
g is the graph of
shifted to the left 2 and down 3, giving a formula in the form
Substituting the coordinates of a point on the curve, such as
we can solve for the stretch factor.
In standard form, the algebraic model for this graph is
To write this in general polynomial form, we can expand the formula and simplify terms.
Notice that the horizontal and vertical shifts of the basic graph of the quadratic function determine the location of the vertex of the parabola; the vertex is unaffected by stretches and compressions.
A coordinate grid has been superimposed over the quadratic path of a basketball in
[link] . Find an equation for the path of the ball. Does the shooter make the basket?
The path passes through the origin and has vertex at
so
To make the shot,
would need to be about 4 but
he doesn’t make it.
Finding the domain and range of a quadratic function
Any number can be the input value of a quadratic function. Therefore, the domain of any quadratic function is all real numbers. Because parabolas have a maximum or a minimum point, the range is restricted. Since the vertex of a parabola will be either a maximum or a minimum, the range will consist of all
y -values greater than or equal to the
y -coordinate at the turning point or less than or equal to the
y -coordinate at the turning point, depending on whether the parabola opens up or down.
Domain and range of a quadratic function

Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
