Express each function in factored form. a) -‐3 and 5, point (4, -‐3) b) -‐4 and 7, point (-‐3, -‐12) 2) Express each function from #1 in standard form. a) b) 3) Find the equation of a quadratic function that has the given x-‐intercepts and contains the given point. Express each function in standard form. a) 1 ± 11 , point (4, -‐6) b) −2 ± 7, point (1, 2) 4) Find the equation of the quadratic function that has zeros at 3 and -‐1 and contains the point (1, -‐2). Express the function in vertex form. 5) Determine the equation in standard form for each quadratic function shown. a) b) 6) An arch of a highway overpass is in the shape of a parabola. The arch spans a distance of 12 meters from one side of the road to the other. The height of the arch is 8 meters at a horizontal distance of 2 meters from each side of the arch. a) Sketch the quadratic function if the vertex of the parabola is on the y-‐axis and the road is along the x-‐ axis. b) Use this information to determine the function that models the arch. c) Find the maximum height of the arch to the nearest tenth of a meter.
