Answer 2 of the following questions.  Make sure you answer the questions you choose completely.  Your answers need to be detailed and clear.         

Question 1:  Given the graph of the function

a.  What is the vertex of the parabola: 

b.  Is this vertex a maximum or minimum value for the function ?

­­­­­­­c.  How do you know that it is a minimum or maximum?

d.  What are the zeros/solutions to the equation ?

e.  Explain how the zeros/solutions can be found by looking at the graph.

f.   Explain how the zeros/solutions can be found without graphing .

Question 2 Solve the equation:  and describe the steps used. (Remember when solving radical equations you must check your solution.)  

Question 3: 

Given the parent graph A:                                                      

a. Write the equation for the function in graph B.

    Explain how you found this equation using transformations.

b.  Give the domain of the function in graph B.

c. Give the range of the function in graph B.

d.  For what intervals is the function in graph B:  Increasing? Decreasing?  

Yay Math! Systems of Equations

Great video's on this website...should provide you with all the information you would need for showing you know how to solve a system of equation by graphing!

Rest of the problems

Factors of 28 whose sum is 11!  

With no = 0, you don't have to continue on...but if it did say x +11x +28 = 0

• (x + 4) = 0
• x = -4
• (x + 7) = 0
• x = -7

Would mean your final solution would then be x = -4 and -7!

The rest....CHECK ALL YOUR ANSWERS!

These are problems from the final exam review...

Question 11-27 (some video some Show me's!)

• y = |x| is the red absolute value!
• y = |x + 3| is the blue absolute value....(notice it moves left!)
• y = |x -6| is the green equation (notice it moves right!)
• y = |x| - 5 is the purple equation

Some  of these cover more than just the question on the review!

• 25) Combine youir like terms
• 26) FOIL!
