QUESTIONING STRATEGIES

The area of the roof of a large building is modeled by the function f R(x) = 2x 2 - 251x + 80,000 and the area of the roof that is devoted to mechanical support is given by the function f M(x) = x 2 + 224x + 31,250. Given that the area of the green space is 123,750 square feet, find its dimensions. The area of the green space is f G(x).

How can you find a polynomial that represents the area of the green space? Subtract the polynomial representing the area devoted to mechanical support from the polynomial representing the total area of the roof.

f R(x) = f M(x) + f G(x) f G(x) = f R(x) - f M(x)

Using that polynomial, how can you find the values of x that give the correct area for the green space? Set the polynomial equal to 123,750, then subtract 123,750 from both sides of the equation so that one side is 0. Next, factor the other side, set each factor equal to 0, and solve.

f G(x) = 2x 2 - 251x + 80,000 - (x 2 + 224x + 31,250) = 2x - 251x + 80,000 - x + 224x + 31,250 2

2

= 2x 2 - x - 251x - 224x + 80,000 - 31,250 2

= x 2 - 475x + 48,750 Solve f G(x) = 123,750 for x.

123,750 = x 2 - 475x + 48,750 0 = x 2 - 475x - 75,000

After finding the values of x, how can you find the dimensions of the green space? Since the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length and the width, factor the polynomial representing the area of the green space, then substitute the values for x in each factor and evaluate. Discard any negative solutions.

0 = (x - 600)(x + 125) x = 600 and x = -125

Since negative numbers do not apply in the context of this problem, use x = 600. Now, factor f G(x) = x 2 - 475x + 48,750.

f G(x) = x 2 - 475x + 48,750 = (x - 150)(x - 325)

Substitute x = 600 from the previous step. = (600 - 150)(600 - 325)

Therefore, the green section of the roof is 450 feet by 275 feet.

Factoring ax 2 + bx + c When c > 0

When you factor a quadratic expression in standard form (ax2 + bx + c), you are looking for two binomials, and possibly a constant numerical factor whose product is the original quadratic expression.

A-REI.B.4b

Recall that the product of two binomials is found by applying the Distributive Property, abbreviated sometimes as FOIL:

Solve quadratic equations by ... factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation … Also A-SSE.A.2, A-SSE.B.3a

L

The sum of the coefficients of the first terms is a. The sum of the coefficients of the outer and inner products is b. The product of the last terms is c.

Because the a and c coefficients result from a single product of terms from the binomials, the coefficients in the binomial factors will be a combination of the factors of a and c. The trick is to find the combination of factors that results in the correct value of b. Follow the steps to factor the quadratic 4x 2 - 26x + 42.

Critical Thinking Explain why you should use negative factors of c when factoring a quadratic with c > 0 and b < 0. A negative value of b tells you at least one of the factors of c must be negative, but since

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES

c > 0, in fact both must be negative. 2.

What If? If none of the factor pairs for a and c result in the correct value for b, what do you know about the quadratic? The quadratic cannot be factored into the product of two binomials.

3.

Discussion Why did you have to check each factor pair twice for the factors of c (3 and 7 versus 7 and 3) but only once for the factors of a (1 and 2, but not 2 and 1)? Hint: Compare the outer and inner sums of rows two and three in the table, and also check the outer and inner sums by switching the order of both pairs from row 2 (check 2 and 1 for a with 7 and 3 for c). It would be redundant to switch the order of both sets of factor pairs. Switching one

If there are three factor pairs for a and one factor pair for c, how many possible arrangements of factor pairs are there? Explain. 6; the factor pair for c can be paired with each factor pair for a in either order. After finding the combination of factors of a and c that give the correct value of b, how do you know which factor to put in each position in the binomial factors? The factors of a are the coefficients of x, and the factors of c are the constant terms. The factors you used to find the inner product should be the two inner values, and the factors you used to find the outer product should be the two outer values.

would be written as 4x 2 + 26x + 42 = 2(2x + 7)(x + 3), which is the same set of binomial factors as the original answer, just written in a different order.

Explain 1

Factoring ax 2 + bx + c When c < 0

Factoring x 2 + bx + c when c < 0 requires one negative and one positive factor of c. The same applies for equations of the form ax 2 + bx + c as long as a > 0. When checking factor pairs, remember to consider factors of c in both orders, and consider factor pairs with the negative sign on either member of the pair of c factors.

EXPLAIN 1 Factoring ax 2 + bx + c When c < 0

When you find a combination of factors whose outer and inner product sum is equal to b, you have found the solution. Make sure you fill in the factor table systematically so that you do not skip any combinations. If a < 0, factor out -1 from all three coefficients, or use a negative common factor, so that the factors of a can be left as positive numbers.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Math Background

IN2_MNLESE389830_U4M08L2.indd 320

Quadratic equations were probably first examined in Babylonia about 4000 years ago. Around 800 BCE in India, geometric methods were used to solve quadratic equations. These methods were similar to the method of completing the square, which was developed between 300 and 200 BCE. Both Euclid and Pythagoras grappled with finding a formula or procedure for solving quadratic equations. It was not until around 600 CE that the first explicit solution to the standard form of the equation was given, although it was not completely general. The practical notation using the symbols and methods currently in use was developed during the 15th century.

4/2/14 1:00 AM

Make sure students understand that the order of the coefficients in the binomials matters. Encourage students to check for errors by making sure that the product of the x-coefficients is a, the product of the constant terms is c, and the sum of the products of the inner and outer terms is b.

solutions to a factored quadratic equation of the form (ax + b)(cx + d) = 0. Students should find that the b d __ solutions are x = - __ a and x = - c . Therefore, when the coefficients of x in the factored form are not 1, the solutions are likely to be proper or improper fractions.

Solving Equations of the Form ax + bx + c = 0 by Factoring 2

For a quadratic equation in standard form, ax 2 + bx + c = 0, factoring the quadratic expression into binomials lets you use the Zero Product Property to solve the equation, as you have done previously. If the equation is not in standard form, convert it to standard form by moving all terms to one side of the equation and combining like terms. Example 2



Change the quadratic equation to standard form if necessary and then solve by factoring.

-2x 2 + 7x - 2 = 4x 2 + 4 Convert the equation to standard form: -2x 2 + 7x - 6 = 0

Subtract 4x 2 and 4 from both sides. Multiply both sides by -1.

2x 2 - 7x + 6 = 0

Use the combination pair that results in a sum of -7 and write the equation in factored form. Then solve it using the Zero Product Property.

Show students this alternate factoring method. Any trinomial can be written as a polynomial with four terms and then factored by grouping. To factor 6x 2 + 19x + 15, first find ac: 6 · 15 = 90. Then find factors of ac that sum to b: 9 and 10 are factors of 90 whose sum is 19. Rewrite the trinomial using those factors: 6x 2 + 10x + 9x + 15. Finally, factor by grouping: (6x 2 + 10x) + (9x + 15) = 2x(3x + 5) + 3(3x + 5) = (3x + 5)(2x + 3)

In the two examples, a common factor was divided out at the beginning of the solution, and it was not used again. Why didn’t you include the common term again when solving x for the original quadratic equation? Solutions are arrived at by applying the Zero Product Property to the factors of the

quadratic expression. Although the common factor is a factor of the quadratic expression, it cannot equal 0 and so the 0-valued multiple predicted by the Zero Product Property must still be one of the binomial terms. Your Turn

Before describing the new terminology for this lesson, review more basic terms such as sum, product, and factor. Students will need to rely on their understanding of these words to grasp phrases such as outer products, inner products, sum of inner and outer products, and common factors. It may be helpful for students to use diagrams and examples to record the meaning of new terminology.

Solving Equation Models of the Form ax 2 + bx + c = 0 by Factoring

EXPLAIN 3

A projectile is an object moving through the air without any forces other than gravity acting on it. The height of a projectile at a time in seconds can be found by using the formula h = −16t 2 + vt + s, where v is in the initial upwards velocity in feet per second (and can be a negative number if the projectile is launched downwards) and s is starting height in feet. The a term of −16 accounts for the effect of gravity accelerating the projectile downwards and is the only appropriate value when measuring distance with feet and time in seconds.

Solving Equation Models of the Form ax 2 + bx + c = 0 by Factoring

To use the model to make predictions about the behavior of a projectile, you need to read the description of the situation carefully and identify the initial velocity, the initial height, and the height at time t. Example 3



QUESTIONING STRATEGIES

Read the real-world situation and substitute in values for the projectile motion formula. Then solve the resulting quadratic equation by factoring to answer the question.

To model the motion of a projectile when distance is measured in meters instead of feet, you use the formula h = -4.9t 2 + vt + s instead of h = -16t 2 + vt + s. By what factor does the coefficient of t 2 change? Why does that factor make sense? The coefficient is reduced by a factor of 3.3, because there are 3.3 feet in a meter.

When a baseball player hits a baseball into the air, the height of the ball at t seconds after the ball is hit can be modeled with the projectile motion formula. If the ball is hit at 3 feet off the ground with an upward velocity of 47 feet per second, how long will it take for the ball to hit the ground, assuming it is not caught? Find the parameters v and s from the description of the problem. v = 47

s=3

h=0 -16t + 47t + 3 = 0

Substitute parameter values.

Divide both sides by -1.

ELABORATE QUESTIONING STRATEGIES How is factoring a trinomial in the form ax 2 + bx + c similar to factoring a trinomial in the form x 2 + bx + c? How is it different? For both forms, you find factors of the coefficient of x 2 and of c such that the sum of products of factors is equal to b. When the trinomial is in the form x 2 + bx + c, the coefficient of x 2 is 1, so the products of the factors are simply the factors of c.

Discuss the shape of the graph, and ask students at what time the projectile reaches its maximum height. Students should recognize that the time of the object’s maximum height is the x-value for the vertex of the parabola. Because the graph is symmetric, they can also find this value by determining the x-value that is half way between the x-intercepts, or zeros, of the function.

When students are creating factor pairs, have them use two different colored pencils, one for positive numbers and one for negative numbers. This will allow students to more easily recognize a negative as they are multiplying. Additionally, using two colors helps them notice whether or not they have considered both positive and negative factor pairs, as needed.

AVOID COMMON ERRORS Students may forget how to determine the signs of the constant terms in the binomial factors. Remind students that the sign of c in a trinomial determines the signs of the constant terms in its binomial factors. If c > 0, then the signs of the constants must be the same. If c < 0, then the signs must be opposites.

The basketball must go up past the height of the basket before coming back down, and both times are positive (after the player shoots). The earlier time is when the ball passes the basket’s height traveling upward, and the later time is when it drops through the hoop. Therefore the correct answer is 1 second. 25.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES What is the initial velocity of an object that is stopped? 0 m/s

The equation for the motion of an object with constant acceleration is d = d 0 + vt + __12 at 2, where d is distance from a given point in meters, d 0 is the initial distance from the starting point in meters, v is the starting velocity in meters per second, a is acceleration in meters per second squared, and t is time in seconds.

What is the acceleration of an object that does not change velocity? 0 m/s 2

A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the driver begins to drive, accelerating at a constant rate of 4 meters per second squared. A bus is traveling at a speed of 15 meters per second in another lane. The bus is 7 meters behind the car as it begins to accelerate.

If the car’s initial position is d 0 = 0, what value of d 0 describes the initial position of the bus? Explain. −7; since the bus is 7 meters behind the car’s starting point, the value for its position must be negative.

Find when the bus passes the car, when the car passes the bus, and how far each has traveled each time they pass one another.

The distance traveled from the intersection by the car is the following: 1 d c(t) = (0)t + (4)t 2 = 2t2 2 The distance traveled from the intersection by the bus is the following: 1 d b(t) = -7 + 15t + (0)t 2 = -7 + 15t 2 Set d c(t) equal to d b(t) to find the time when the bus passes the car and the

In this lesson, students expand their understanding of factoring trinomials of the form ax 2 + bx + c by learning to recognize and factor perfect-square trinomials, the difference of two squares, and polynomials that consist of one of these special products multiplied by a monomial factor. They also solve equations and real-world problems that involve these polynomials. As they work with polynomial expressions that follow certain patterns, students learn to recognize the patterns and apply them when appropriate. The ability to factor special products efficiently will be valuable in algebra as well as in future courses that require repeated reasoning with polynomials.

When asked to factor a trinomial that has a common monomial factor, such as 18x 2 - 60x + 50, students may see that the first and last terms are not perfect squares and therefore assume that they cannot use the rule for factoring perfect squares. Remind students to always begin by factoring out any common factors, and then examine the trinomial that remains to decide whether they can use a special product rule.

forget to factor out a common factor of the terms in a difference of two squares. For example, to factor 4x 2 - 16y 4, you could first factor out a common factor of 4 to get 4(x 2 - 4y 4), then factor the difference of squares to get 4(x + 2y 2)(x - 2y 2). If you do not notice the common factor, you can still factor the expression as a difference of squares, to get (2x + 4y 2)(2x - 4y 2). Help students to see that this would be an equivalent expression, but it would not be a complete factorization. You would still need to factor a 2 out of each binomial to get the same final result as before.

Equations with special factors can be solved using the Zero Product Property. Remember, the Zero Product Property states that if the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. For example, if (x + 1)(x + 9) = 0 then x + 1 = 0 or x + 9 = 0. Consequently, the solutions for the equation are x = -1 or x = -9. Example 3

Solve the following equations with special factors. 4x 2 + 12x + 9 = 0



4x 2 + 12x + 9 = 0 2 2x 2 + 2(2 · 3)x + 3 2 = 0

Rewrite in the form a 2x 2 + 2abx + b 2.

Modeling Students may know and use the word perfect to mean flawless, but in mathematics the term perfect square has a specific meaning. A number that is a perfect square is the square of a whole number, and a perfect-square trinomial is the square of a binomial.

335

Lesson 8.3

Demonstrate how to model the factors of trinomials with algebra tiles. Point out that if a trinomial can be factored, the tiles form a rectangle. For a perfect-square trinomial, the tiles will be arranged in a square. Be sure to use and repeat the terminology as you work together so that students hear the words in context, which helps clarify their meaning.

If the equation that models a real-world problem has the form x 2 - b 2 = 0 for some constant b, why might you need to discard one solution for x? Factoring x 2 - b 2 gives (x + b)(x - b), so the solutions to the equation are x = b and x = -b. One of these values is positive and one is negative. If x represents a quantity such as time or distance, a negative value may not make sense in the context of the problem.

10. A volleyball player sets the ball in the air, and the height of the ball after t seconds is given in feet by h = -16t 2 + 12t + 6. A teammate wants to wait until the ball is 8 feet in the air before she spikes it. When should the teammate spike the ball? How many reasonable solutions are there to this problem? Explain.

What types of quadratic equations have only one real solution? Quadratic equations that can be factored as perfect squares have only one real solution. For example, 4x 2 - 16x + 16 = 0, 2 which can be factored as 4(x - 2) = 0, has one real solution, x = 2.

Elaborate 12. Are the perfect square trinomials a 2 + 2ab + b 2 and a 2 - 2ab + b 2 very different? How can you get one from the other? Start with the first form a 2 + 2ab + b 2. Let b = -b new and simplify.

a 2 + 2ab + b 2 = a 2 + 2a(-b new) + (-b new) 2 = a 2 - 2ab new + ⎡⎣(-1)(b new)⎤⎦ 2 2 = a 2 - 2ab new + (-1) (b new) 2

15. Physical problems involving projectile motion can be modeled using the general equation h = -16t 2 + v 0t. Here, h refers to the relative height of the projectile from its initial position, v 0 is its initial vertical velocity, and t is time elapsed from launch. If you are measuring the height of the projectile as it descends from a high place, and it was launched with v 0 = 0 (which means it was thrown horizontally or dropped), how would you find the solution using special factors? (Assume that the height the projectile has descended is a square number in this question, although this is not a requirement in real life). Set v 0 = 0 and h = -s 2 for some value of s. h is negative because the projectile is

descending from its original position. Substitute these values into the equation and simplify. h = -16t 2 + v 0t h = -16t 2 © Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company

-s 2 = -16t 2 16t 2 - s 2 = 0 At this point you can use the difference of squares to solve.

(4t + s)(4t - s) = 0 4t = ±s

s t = ±_ 4

s Only the positive answer applies to the model, so the solution is t = _ . The difference of 4

squares was used to find this. 16. Essential Question Check-In How can you use special products to solve quadratic equations? Once you recognize that a polynomial is a perfect-square trinomial or a difference of

If the values of a and c in a trinomial in the form ax 2 + bx + c are both perfect squares, is the trinomial always a perfect-square trinomial? Explain. Provide an example to defend your answer. No; if the first and last terms are both perfect squares, the coefficient of the middle term must be two times the square root of the first coefficient, a, times the square root of the constant, c. Possible example: 16x 2 + 90x + 36; both 16 and 36 are perfect squares, but the middle term would need to be 48x for this to be a perfect-square trinomial.

22. Geometry Claire is cutting a square out of a bigger square for an art project. She cuts out a square with an area of 9 cm 2. The leftover area is 16 cm 2. What is the length of one of the sides of the bigger square? The area of a square is A = / 2 where / is the length of one of its sides.

Solve for l. I 2 - 9 = 16 I 2 - 9 - 16 = 0 I 2 - 25 = 0

(I + 5)(I - 5) = 0

I = ±5

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES

Disregard the negative value of l because squares cannot have negative lengths.

Explain why the product of binomials (r + s)(r - s) is not a trinomial. When you multiply these binomials together by FOIL, the inner and outer products cancel each other out, so the result is a difference of two squares: (r + s)(r - s) = r 2 - s 2.

The square has side lengths of 5 centimeters. 23. The height of a diver during a dive can be modeled by h = -16t 2 , where h is height in feet relative to the diving platform and t is time in seconds. Find the time it takes for the diver to reach the water if the platform is 49 feet high.

7 t = ±_ 4 7 After t = _ = 1.75 seconds, the diver will have reached the water. The negative 4 value of t cannot be used in this context.

24. Physics Consider a particular baseball player at bat. The height of the ball at time t can be modeled by h = -16t 2 + v 0t + h 0. Here, v 0 is the initial upward velocity of the ball, and h 0 is the height at which the ball is hit. If a ball is 4 feet off the ground when it is hit with a negligible upward velocity close to 0 feet per second, when will the ball hit the ground?

h = -16t 2 + v 0t + h 0 0 = -16t 2 + 0t + 4 0 = 16t 2 - 4

0 = 4 (4 t 2 - 1 )

0 = 4(2t + 1)(2t - 1) 1 t = ±_ 2

Is 4x 2 + 20x - 25 a perfect-square trinomial? How can you tell? No; the last term is negative. This means that the operation sign in one binomial factor is + and in the other is -. In a perfect-square trinomial, the constant term is always positive.

What was his error? Correct his work.

He factored out a 2 from both (12x + 10) and (12x + 10), which is the same as factoring out a 4 from the whole expression. It should be 4(6x + 5)(6x - 5).

144x 2 - 100 = (12x + 10)(12x - 10) = 2(6x + 5) ⋅ 2(6x - 5) = 4(6x + 5)(6x - 5)

When factoring a trinomial, do you think it is easier to first list all the factor pairs or to first check whether it fits the pattern for a perfect-square trinomial? Explain your reasoning. Possible answer: It is easier to check for the pattern, because once you see that a and c are perfect squares, you have only to check one product of factors to confirm whether it gives the correct value of b for a perfect-square trinomial. If it does, you can write the answer, and if it does not, you can list more factor pairs to determine how to factor the trinomial.

The Ship-Shape Shipping Company ships items in rectangular crates. At one shipping destination, each crate must be able to fit through an arched doorway. The shape of this arched doorway can be modeled by the quadratic equation y = -x 2 + 16, where x is the distance in feet from the center of the arch and y is the height of the arch.

Solving Equations by Taking Square Roots

Essential Question: How can you solve quadratic equations using square roots? Resource Locker

Common Core Math Standards COMMON CORE

Recall that the square root of a non-negative number a is the real number b such that b 2 = a. Since 4 2 = 16 2 and (-4) = 16, the square roots of 16 are 4 and -4. Thus, every positive real number has two square roots, _ _ one positive and one negative. The positive square root is given by √ a and the negative square root by -√ a . _ √ These can be combined as ± a .

Solving ax 2 - c = 0 by Using Square Roots

Solving a quadratic equation by using square roots may involve either finding square roots of perfect squares or finding square roots of numbers that are not perfect squares. In the latter case, the solution is irrational and can be approximated.

Solve the equation. Give the answer in radical form, and then use a calculator to approximate the solution to two decimal places, if necessary. Use a graphing calculator to graph the related function and compare the roots of the equation to the zeros of the related function.

The graph intersects the x-axis at approximately (1.32, 0) and (-1.32, 0). So, the roots of the equation are the zeros of the related function.

4/2/14 1:21 AM

Introduce the idea that squaring and finding square roots are inverse operations. This means that squaring undoes the effect of taking the square root, and taking the square root undoes the effect of squaring. Other examples of inverse operations are addition and subtraction, and multiplication and division. Stress to students that before taking a square root of a squared term, they must isolate the squared term on one side of the equation.

A contractor is building a fenced-in playground at a daycare. The playground will be rectangular with its width equal to half its length. The total area will be 5000 square feet.

Some students may incorrectly interpret the solution to a real-world problem and include an extraneous solution. Remind students to use the context of the word problem to interpret the solution. Often, the negative solution will not make sense, so it should be disregarded.

(x - 9)2 = 64

A = ℓw 1x 5000 = x · _ 2 1 x2 5000 = _ 2 10,000 = x 2 _

±√10,000 = x ±100 = x

Take the square root of both sides. Evaluate the square root.

Since the width of a rectangle cannot be negative, the length of the playground is 100 feet. The width is half the length, or 50 feet. Find the amount of fencing. P = 2ℓ + 2w = 2(100) + 2(50) = 200 + 100

320 = 1.25x ⋅ x

320 = 1.25x 2

Since the width of a rectangle cannot be negative, the width of the poster is 16 inches. So, the length of the poster is 1.25 ⋅ 16, or 20, inches.

256 = x 2

± √―― 256 = x ±16 = x

What is wrong with solving the equation x 2 = 3x by dividing both sides by x? When you divide by x, you lose the solution x = 0. If x = 0, division of both sides by x is undefined.

Since the radius of a circle cannot be negative, the radius of the graphed circle is approximately 6.8 units. The x-intercepts are 6.8 units from the origin. So, they are located at (-6.8, 0) and (6.8, 0).

Since time cannot be negative, it will take a golf ball 2 seconds to drop to the ground from a height of 64 feet.

19. Entertainment For a scene in a movie, a sack of money is dropped from the roof of a 600-foot skyscraper. The height of the sack above the ground in feet is given by h = −16t 2 + 600, where t is the time in seconds. How long will it take the sack to reach the ground? Round to the nearest tenth of a second.

0 = 16t 2 + 600 -600 = 16t 2 37.5 = t 2

Since time cannot be negative, the solution is t = 6.12. So, it will take the sack approximately 6.12 seconds to reach the ground.

AVOID COMMON ERRORS When solving equations in which the number isolated on one side is the opposite of a perfect square, students may take the square root as if the number were positive. Remind students that you cannot take the square root of the opposite of a perfect square, such as -25. It has no square roots; 5 and -5 are the square roots of 25, not -25.

Since the length of the base of a trapezoid cannot be negative, the width of the front yard is approximately 45 feet. So, the width of the back yard is 2 · 45, or 90, feet.

23. Explain the Error Trent and Lisa solve the same equation, but they disagree on the solution of the equation. Their work is shown. Which solution is correct? Explain.

Have students explain how to solve an equation of the form ax 2 - c = 0 by using square roots.

Trent:

Lisa:

5x 2 + 1000 = -125

5x 2 + 1000 = -125

5x 2 = -1125

5x 2 = -1125

x 2 = -225

x 2 = -225

x=

_ ±√-225

no real solutions

x = ±15 Lisa’s solution is correct. By the definition of a square root of a x 2 = a, so the square of a real number is always non-negative. So, a must be non-negative. In the equation x 2 = -225 , a is negative. So, there are no real solutions of the equation. 24. Multi-Step Construction workers are installing a rectangular, in-ground pool. To start, they dig a rectangular hole in the ground where the pool will be. The area of the ground that they will be digging up is 252 square feet. The length of the pool is twice the width of the pool. a. What are the dimensions of the pool? Round to the nearest tenth.

A = ℓw

252 = 2x ∙ x

126 = x 2

±11.2 ≈ x

The width is approximately 11.2 feet. So, the length is approximately 2 ∙ 11.2, or 22.4, feet. The pool is approximately 11.2 feet by 22.4 feet.

b. Once the pool is installed, the workers will build a fence, that encloses a rectangular region, around the perimeter of it. The fence will be 10 feet from the edges of the pool, except at the corners. How many feet of fencing will the workers need?

11.2 + 20 = 31.2

22.4 + 20 = 42.4

31.2 + 31.2 + 42.4 + 42.4 = 147. 2

So, the workers will need approximately 147.2 feet of fencing. 25. Communicate Mathematical Ideas Explain why the quadratic equation x 2 + b = 0 where b > 0, has no real solutions, but the quadratic equation x 2 - b = 0 where b > 0, has two real solutions.

When b > 0, the solution of x 2 + b = 0 is the square root of a negative number, which is not real; but the solution of x 2 - b = 0 is the square root of a positive number, which has 2 possible values. 26. Justify Reasoning For the equation x 2 = a, describe the values of a that will result in two real solutions, one real solution, and no real solution. Explain your reasoning.

― ―



Two real solutions: If a is positive, x will have the values √a and - √a . One real solution: If a is equal to 0, x will have the value √0 = 0. If a is negative, there are no real values of x because no real number squared is negative. Module 9

CONNECT VOCABULARY Some students may not understand some of the terms used in this Lesson Performance Task. Have a volunteer draw a pendulum clock on the board and locate the pendulum and clock face. Explain that the period of a pendulum’s motion is how long it takes to swing back (the tick) and forward (the tock), in seconds. The longer the pendulum, the longer the period.

You have been asked to create a pendulum clock for your classroom. The clock will be placed on one wall of the classroom and go the entire height of the wall. Choose how large you want the face and hands on your clock to be and provide measurements for the body of the clock. The pendulum will start halfway between the center of the clock face and its bottom edge and will initially end 1 foot above the floor. Calculate the period of the pendulum using the formula L = 9.78t 2, where L is the length of the pendulum in inches and t is the length of the period in seconds. Now, adjust the length of your pendulum so the number of cycles in 1 minute or 60 seconds is an integer value. How long is your pendulum and how many periods equal one minute?

Explain 1

Completing the square is a process of rewriting a quadratic expression as a perfect square trinomial so that it can be solved by taking square roots. In the Explore, the method for completing the square when a = 1 was modeled with algebra tiles. First, place half of the x-tiles along the right side of the x 2-tile and half underneath the tile. Then add unit tiles to fill in the rectangle started with the x 2 - and x-tiles. The number of unit tiles equals the square of the number of x-tiles on either side of the x 2-tile.

A nonzero rational number with 0 as a denominator is undefined and thus not a real number. However, 0 divided by 0 is indeterminate because any number multiplied by 0 is 0, so the quotient can be any number.

When solving an equation such as x 2 + 4x = 5, students can use algebra tiles to complete the square on x 2 + 4x. If they need further visualization, they can use a large = and construct the entire equation using algebra tiles. When they add 4 to one side of the equation to complete the square, remind them to add 4 to the other side to maintain the equality. Have them form a square with nine unit tiles so that they can compare the side lengths of the two squares. On the left, the side length is x + 2 , while on the right, the side length is 3, so x + 2 = 3. Because length is not negative, x + 2 = -3 is discarded.

Modeling Completing the Square for Quadratic Equations

EXPLAIN 5

Completing the square can be useful when solving problems involving quadratic functions, especially if the function 2 cannot be factored. In these cases, complete the square to rewrite the function in vertex form: ƒ(x) = a(x - h) + k. Completing the square in this situation is similar to solving equations by completing the square, but instead of adding a term to both sides of the equation, you will both add and subtract it from the function’s rule.

Modeling Completing the Square for Quadratic Functions

Recall that the height of an object moving under the force of gravity, with no other forces acting on it, can be modeled by the quadratic function h = -16t 2 + vt + s, where t is the time in seconds, v is the initial vertical velocity, and s is the initial height in feet. Example 5



QUESTIONING STRATEGIES

Write a function in standard form for each model. Then, rewrite the equation in vertex form and solve the problem. Graph the function on a graphing calculator and find the x-intercepts and maximum value of the graph.

Describe in words what happens to an object thrown upwards. The object moves upward until it reaches its maximum height; then, it falls to the ground.

Sports A baseball is thrown by someone who is 5 feet tall. If the person throws the baseball at a velocity of 30 feet per second, what will be the maximum height of the baseball? How long will it take the baseball to hit the ground?

Describe in words how the vertex of the graph relating time and height of an object thrown upwards relates to the motion of the object. The value of h(t) at the vertex is the object’s greatest height. The value of t at the vertex is the amount of time it takes the object to reach its greatest height.

The function for this situation is h = -16t 2 + 30t + 5. Complete the square to find the vertex of the function’s graph. h = -16t 2 + 30t + 5 h = -1(16t 2 - 30t) + 5

Factor out -1.

( ) 15 - _ 225 + 5 h = -1((4t - _ 4) 16 ) 15 + _ 225 + 5 h = -(4t - _ 4) 16 15 305 _ _ h = -4(t - ) + 4 16

225 + 5 225 - _ h = -1 16t 2 - 30t + _ 16 16

Complete the square. Factor the perfect-square trinomial.

2

Distribute the -1.

Combine the last two terms.

15 ___ The coordinates of the vertex are ( __ , 305 , or about (3.75, 19.06). The maximum height will be about 4 16 ) 19 feet.

The graph of the function confirms the vertex at about (3.75, 19.06). The x-intercept at about 2.03 indicates that the boll will hit the ground after about 2 seconds.

You know that the graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. Why isn’t the complete parabola drawn when graphing h(t)? Time and distance are both non-negative, and this restricts the graph to first-quadrant values.

AVOID COMMON ERRORS Some students may be less comfortable working with functions than with equations, or may not know the difference. As a result, they may try to solve a function as they would an equation, dividing both sides or adding to both sides. Explain that f(x) is read f of x, and that it is not treated the same way as a variable like y. Tell students that to complete the square given a function, they must add and subtract the same thing to the same side to preserve equality. So that the addition does not undo the subtraction, keep terms separate using parentheses.

show that a quadratic equation can have only one solution, even when the leading coefficient is not 1. For example, 4x 2 - 12x + 9 can be factored 2 as (2x - 3) , so the equation 4x 2 - 12x + 9 = 0 has a single solution, x = __32 .

24. Justify Reasoning Will the equation x 2 + 6x = -10 produce an answer that is a real number after the square is completed? Explain.

The equation x 2 + 6x = -10 will not produce an answer that is a real number after the square is completed, since completing the square will produce the equation x 2 + 6x + 9 = -1, and there are no real solutions whose square is −1.

When solving a quadratic model, some solutions are considered extraneous because they have a negative value, which is not useful in a real-world context. However, this is not always the case, as some quadratic models will have two valid solutions.

Have students choose how much money they will spend in pennies; determine how many square inches their pennies will cover; and then create and solve a real-world problem similar to the Lesson Performance Task. Students may determine that, for example, an 18” by 16” penny tiling requires an array of 22 by 20 pennies or 440 pennies ($4.40). If the area to be covered, in square inches, is 1152 and the length is 4 inches longer than the width, then (x + 4) x = 1152 and (x + 2)2 = 1156, so x = 32 and (x + 4) = 36.

Using the Discriminant with Real-World Models

Given a real-world situation that can be modeled by a quadratic equation, you can find the number of real solutions to the problem using the discriminant, and then apply the quadratic formula to obtain the solutions. After finding the solutions, check to see if they make sense in the context of the problem. In projectile motion problems where the projectile height h is modeled by the equation h = −16t 2 + vt + s, where t is the time in seconds the object has been in the air, v is the initial vertical velocity in feet per second, and s is the initial height in feet. The -16 coefficient in front of the t 2 term refers to the effect of gravity on the object. This equation can be written using metric units as h = −4.9t 2 + vt + s, where the units are converted from feet to meters. Time remains in units of seconds.

© Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company

Example 3



For each problem, use the discriminant to determine the number of real solutions for the equation. Then, find the solutions and check to see if they make sense in the context of the problem.

A diver jumps from a platform 10 meters above the surface of the water. The diver’s height is given by the equation h = −4.9t 2 + 3.5t + 10, where t is the time in seconds after the diver jumps. For what time t is the diver’s height 1 meter? Substitute h = 1 into the height equation. Then, write the resulting quadratic equation in standard form to solve for t. 1 = −4.9t 2 + 3.5t + 10

0 = −4.9t 2 + 3.5t + 9

First, use the discriminant to find the number of real solutions of the equation. b 2 - 4ac

Use the discriminant.

(3.5) - 4(-4.9)(9) = 188.65 2

Since b 2 − 4ac > 0, the equation has two real solutions.

Simplify. Write as two equations. Solutions

Disregard the negative solution because t represents the seconds after the diver jumps and a negative value has no meaning in this context. So, the diver is at height 1 meter after a time of t ≈ 1.76 seconds.

B

The height in meters of a model rocket on a particular launch can be modeled by the equation h = −4.9t 2 + 102t + 100, where t is the time in seconds after its engine burns out 100 meters above the ground. When will the rocket reach a height of 600 meters? Substitute h = 600 into the height equation. Then, write the resulting quadratic equation in standard form to solve for t. h = −4.9t 2 + 102t + 100

600 = −4.9t 2 + 102t + 100 0 = −4.9t 2 + 102t - 500

A soccer player uses her head to hit a ball up in the air from a height of 2 meters with an initial vertical velocity of 5 meters per second. The height h in meters of the ball is given by h = −4.9t 2 + 5t + 2, where t is the time elapsed in seconds. How long will it take the ball to hit the ground if no other players touch it?

10. The quarterback of a football team throws a pass to the team’s receiver. The height h in meters of the football can be modeled by h = −4.9t 2 + 3t + 1.75, where t is the time elapsed in seconds. The receiver catches the football at a height of 2 meters. How long does the ball remain in the air until it is caught by the receiver?

ELABORATE QUESTIONING STRATEGIES

The ball is caught by the receiver when h = 2.

Explain why the value of the discriminant indicates the number of solutions. When the number inside the radical sign is positive, there are two solutions, because you can take the positive and negative square root of a positive number. When the number is negative, there are no real solutions because you cannot take the square root of a negative number. When the number inside the radical sign is 0, there is one solution, because the square root of 0 is 0 and adding and subtracting 0 will not change the value of -b.

h = −4.9t 2 + 3t + 1.75 0.25 = −4.9t 2 + 3t + 1.75 0 = −4.9t 2 + 3t + 1.5

(3)2 - 4(−4.9)(1.5) = 38.4 Since b 2 - 4ac > 0, the equation has two real solutions.

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions of the quadratic equation. -3 ± √38.4 t= -9.8 -3 ± 6.20 t≈ -9.8 t ≈ -0.33 or t ≈ 0.94 Disregard the negative solution because there is no negative time in this problem context.The ball was in the air for t ≈ 0.94 second.

SUMMARIZE THE LESSON

Elaborate

at one point. If the discriminant is positive, the equation will have two solutions: it will intersect the x-axis at two points. If the discriminant is negative, the equation will have no solutions: the graph will not intersect the x-axis at all. 12. What advantage does using the quadratic formula have over other methods of solving quadratic equations? The quadratic formula works for all quadratic equations. Other methods only work in certain situations.

13. Essential Question Check-In How can you derive the quadratic formula?

The quadratic formula is derived by completing the square for the standard form of a quadratic equation.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES If the discriminant of a quadratic equation that models a real-world situation is greater than 0, will the problem have two solutions? Only when both solutions make sense in the context; for example, if there is a positive and a negative solution to a problem that asks for a length, the negative solution does not make sense, because length cannot be negative.

A = (x + 6) (x + 8)

Use this information for Exercises 18 and 19. A gymnast, who can stretch her arms up to reach 6 feet, jumps straight up on a trampoline. The height of her feet above the trampoline can be modeled by the equation h = -16x 2 + 12x, where x is the time in seconds after her jump. 18. Do the gymnast’s hands reach a height of 10 feet above the trampoline? Use the discriminant to explain. (Hint: Since h = height of feet, you must use the difference between the heights of the hands and feet.)

Evaluating the discriminant for h = 10 - 6 = 4 gives d = -112 < 0, so there are no real solutions for this height. Thus, her feet never reach 4 feet, so her hands never reach 10 feet. Module 9

How is the first step in solving a quadratic equation by completing the square different from solving one by using the quadratic formula? The first step in completing the square is to place the variable terms on one side of the equation and the constant on the other. The first step in completing the square is to write the equation in standard form, ax 2 + bx + c = 0.

Discussion Another method you learned for solving quadratics is taking square roots. Why would that not work in this case? Taking square roots only works when there are is no x term in the standard form (as in

4x 2 - 9 = 0), or when the quadratic is already expressed as a perfect square of a binomial

(

plus constant terms as in (x + 4) - 5 = 10 .

Solving Quadratic Equations Using Different Methods

You have seen several ways to solve a quadratic equation, but there are reasons why you might choose one method over another. Factoring is usually the fastest and easiest method. Try factoring first if it seems likely that the equation is factorable. Both completing the square and using the quadratic formula are more general. Quadratic equations that are solvable can be solved using either method.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of solving a quadratic equation by taking square roots? Taking square roots is the easiest approach and least likely to result in an error due to

the minimal number of computations, but it is also the most restrictive, only working for values of b = 0 in the standard form. 3.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of solving a quadratic equation by factoring? Sample answer: If the equation is not difficult to factor, factoring will usually be easier

than completing the squares or applying the quadratic formula. It usually requires fewer calculations, allowing for fewer opportunities to make a mistake. However, many quadratic equations that can be solved for two real solutions are not solvable by factoring. 4.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES

Use the projectile motion formula to write an equation for the height of the ball t seconds after Marco throws it.

How can you use completing the square to solve a quadratic equation? Write the 2 b equation in the form x 2 + bx = c, and add to 2 both sides. Then, factor the perfect trinomial, and find the square root of both sides of the equation.

h = -16 t 2 +

45 t + 4

To determine if the ball can reach the height of the kite, set up the equation to find the time it takes the ball to reach the height of the kite. -16t 2 + 45t + 4 = 42

Convert the equation to standard form. -16t 2 + 45t + -38 = 0

How can you use the quadratic formula to solve a quadratic equation? What is one advantage of using it? Sample answer: Write the equation in standard form. Then, substitute a, b, ――― -b ± √b 2 - 4ac ____________ and c into the quadratic formula, , and 2a simplify. One advantage of using the quadratic formula is that you can quickly evaluate the discriminant, b 2 - 4ac, to determine the number of real solutions.

This problem will be easiest to solve by using the quadratic formula. To check if the ball reaches the kite, begin by calculating the discriminant . To determine the velocity that Marco must throw the ball to reach the kite, we should find the velocity where the discriminant is equal to 0 , which is the exact moment at which the ball changes direction and falls back to earth.

Solve a = -16 , b = 45 , c = -38

Identify values of a, b, and c. Evaluate the discriminant first.

A negative discriminant means that there are 0 solutions to the equation. Rudy’s throw will/will not reach as high as the kite. The velocity with which Rudy needs to throw the ball to reach the kite is the coefficient b of the x-term of the quadratic equation.

10. Which method do you think is best if you are going to have to use a calculator? If a calculator is needed, the best method in this situation is probably to either use the

quadratic formula or to solve graphically.

Taking Square Roots

11. Some factorable quadratic expressions are still quite difficult to solve by factoring rather than using another method. What makes an equation difficult to factor? Sample answer: When the a and c terms have many factors, the number of combinations of

factor pairs to try can be very large. If either a or c is a negative number, this also increases the number of combinations of factor pairs to try. 12. You are taking a test on quadratic equations and you can’t decide which method would be the fastest way to solve a particular problem. How could looking at a graph of the equation on a calculator help you decide which method to use? By graphing the related function on a calculator, I can estimate where the zeros are. If the

zeros are integers, then the equation would probably be easy to factor. If there are no zeros, I know that there is no solution. 13. Essential Question Check-In How should you determine a method for solving a quadratic equation? The choice of method depends on the equation. If taking square roots or factoring can be

used, those should be the first choices. Convert to standard form first (unless the equation starts with squares on both sides of the equation) and then determine which method to use based on the coefficients.

Use the projectile motion formula and solve the quadratic equation by any means. Identify the method and explain why you chose it. Irrational answers and fractions should be converted to decimal form and rounded to two places. 18. Gary drops a pair of gloves off of a balcony that is 64 feet high down to his friend on the ground. How long does it take the pair of gloves to hit the ground?

Because there is no initial velocity, there is no t term and the solution can be solved by finding square roots. -16t 2 = -64 16t 2 = 64

H.O.T. Focus on Higher Order Thinking

23. Justify Reasoning Any quadratic equation with a real solution can be solved with the quadratic formula. Describe the kinds of equations where that would not be the best choice, and explain your reasoning.

Have students write about their preferred methods of solving quadratic equations. Have them describe the method’s advantages and disadvantages.

Equations that can be solved by taking square roots or by factoring are usually solved that way because there is less computation involved in both of those methods. The answer will usually be found in less time and with fewer errors. If an equation cannot be factored, but can be solved by completing the square without large or fractional terms, it will probably be easier to solve by completing the square rather than using the quadratic formula.

24. Critique Reasoning Marisol decides to solve the quadratic equation by factoring 21x 2 + 47x - 24 = 0. Do you think she chose the best method? How would you solve this equation?

Answers will vary: Some students will say to factor because it can be factored, others will notice that it requires checking a lot of factor pairs and point out that it may be better to go straight to the quadratic equation. 25. Communicate Mathematical Ideas Explain the difference between the statements “The quadratic formula can be used to solve any quadratic equation with a real solution” and “Every quadratic equation has a real solution.”

The second statement is false. Some quadratic equations cannot be solved for a real value of x. If there are real solutions, then the quadratic formula can be used to find them. Either way, the first statement is true.

Solving a System of Linear and Quadratic Equations Algebraically

Systems of equations can also be solved algebraically by using the substitution method to eliminate a variable. If the system is one linear and one quadratic equation, the equation resulting after substitution will also be quadratic and can be solved by selecting an appropriate method. Example 2 © Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company

When solving a system, students sometimes stop after finding the value(s) of one of the variables. Remind them that solutions of a system are ordered pairs. They need to substitute the value(s) they find into one of the original equations and solve for the other variable.

AVOID COMMON ERRORS When using a graphing calculator to graph a linear-quadratic system, students may find that the graph shows no intersection points and conclude that the system has no solutions. It is possible that the two graphs actually do intersect but that the domain or range of the graphs needs to be extended to include the intersection point. Caution students that they need to use a suitable viewing window to look for intersections before they come to a conclusion.

students that solutions involving negative numbers can often be discarded, but not always. Give students examples in which negative solutions are valid, such as distance above or below sea level or time before or after an event.

A billboard painter is using a pulley system to hoist a can of paint up to a scaffold at a rate of half a meter per second. The height of the can of paint as a function of time is given by h(t) = 0.5t. Five seconds after he starts raising the can of paint, his partner accidentally kicks a paint brush off of the scaffolding, which 2 falls to the ground. The height of the falling paint brush can be represented by h(t) = -4.9 (t - 5) + 30. When does the brush pass the paint can?

The paint brush passes by the can about 7.3 seconds after the painter starts hoisting it up or about 2.3 seconds after the paintbrush starts to fall.

Discussion When solving a system of equations consisting of a quadratic equation and a linear equation by graphing, why is it difficult to be sure there is one solution as opposed to 0 or 2? For the system to have one solution, the line must just touch the parabola without crossing it. A slight translation closer and they will cross twice, while a slight translation away means they will miss entirely.

a quadratic function. Understanding how to quickly find the vertex and axis of symmetry from the vertex form of the equation can make it easier for students to solve nonlinear systems by graphing.

How can you use the discriminant to determine how many solutions a linear-quadratic system has? After using substitution, you will have one quadratic equation to solve. The number of

solutions of the system is equal to the number of solutions of that resulting quadratic equation. 10. Essential Question Check-in How can the graphs of two functions be used to solve a system of a quadratic and a linear equation? The x and y coordinates of the points of intersection of the two curves are solutions to the

system of equations.

How can you solve a system of a quadratic and a linear equation algebraically? Rewrite each equation so that y is given in terms of x, then set the two expressions for y equal to each other. Simplify the resulting quadratic equation, then solve it for x by factoring, taking a square root, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. Substitute each x-value into one of the original equations to find the corresponding y-value.

For example, they may prefer to solve algebraically when the equations involve small, easily factored numbers, and to graph with a calculator when the problem involves decimals or very large numbers. The choice of whether to solve a quadratic equation by factoring or by using the quadratic formula may also depend on the coefficients in the equations, but approaches will vary from one student to another.

18. An elevator in a hotel moves at 20 feet per second. Leaving from the ground floor, its height in feet after t seconds is given by the formula h(t) = -20t. A bolt comes loose in the elevator shaft above, and its height in feet after falling for t seconds is given by h(t) = -16t 2 + 200. At what time and at what height does the bolt hit the elevator?

KINESTHETIC EXPERIENCE After they create graphs for a system of equations, have students trace the paths of both graphs using their index fingers or colored pencils. They should note the shape of each graph and how the parabola turns toward and away from the line at different points. This process may help students recognize situations in which the graphs are likely to intersect if they are extended beyond the grid.

⎧h(t) = -16t 2 + 200



⎩ h(t) = 20t

2 intersections: (2.97, 59.31) and (-4.22, -84.31)

19. A bungee jumper leaps from a bridge 100 meters over a gorge. Before the 40-meter-long bungee begins to slow him down, his height is characterized by h(t) = -4.9t 2 + 100. Two seconds after he jumps, a car on the bridge blows out a tire. The sound of the tire blow-out moves down from the top of the bridge at the speed of sound and has a height given by h(t) = -340(t - 2) + 100. How high will the bungee jumper be when he hears the sound of the blowout?

⎧h(t) = -4.9t 2 + 100

CRITICAL THINKING



⎩ h(t) = -340t + 780

When students are working with real-world situations, remind them that they have to read the problem carefully and analyze the given information to determine whether the x-values or the y-values represent the solution to the problem.

The graphs intersect at about (2.1, 79.2), so the jumper hears the tire blow-out at a height of about 79.2 meters. (There is another intersection at a negative height, so it is unreasonable). 20. Explain the Error A student is asked to solve the system of equations y = x 2 + 2x - 7 and y - 2 = x + 1. For the first step, the student sets the right hand sides equal to each other to get the equation x 2 + 2x - 7 = x + 1. Why does this not give the correct solution?

Before equating the two right sides, both equations must be solved for y. 21. Explain the Error After solving the system of equations in Evaluate 18 (the elevator and the bolt), a student concludes that there are two different times that the bolt hits the elevator. What is the error in the student’s reasoning?

23. Explain the Error After solving the system of equations in Evaluate 16 (the skydiver and the ball), a student concludes there are two valid solutions because they both have positive times. The ball must pass by the skydiver twice. What is the error in the student’s reasoning? The second intersection point at 22.18 seconds corresponds to a height -5654.74 feet, or under the ground. The second intersection point is outside the range of the model even though it has a positive time, and it cannot be a valid solution.

In their journals, have students sketch graphs of linear-quadratic systems with no solutions, with one solution, and with two solutions. Then have them describe how to solve the systems algebraically as well as by graphing.

Use a graphing calculator to graph the system. a. What do the variables x and y represent? x is the horizontal distance from home plate. y is the height above the ground. b. About how far is the baseball from home plate when it lands?

The only intersection point with non-negative coordinates is (458.96, 26.74). So the baseball is about 459 feet from the plate when it lands.

c.

About how high up in the stands does the baseball land? 26.7 feet.

25. Draw Conclusions A certain system of a linear and a quadratic equation has two solutions, (2, 7) and (5, 10). The quadratic equation is y = x 2 - 6x + 15. What is the linear equation? Justify your answer.

The two solutions are points on the line and can be used to solve for the line. y = mx + b 10 - 7 =1 m= 10 = 1(5) + b 5-2 b=5 The line is y = x + 5. Two points define a line, so there is no need to use the quadratic equation.

26. Justify Reasoning It is possible for a system of two linear equations to have infinitely many solutions. Explain why this is not possible for a system with one linear and one quadratic equation.

Two linear equations can have infinite solutions if the linear functions associated represent the same line, which will overlap itself at every point on the line. A parabola and a line are different shapes and can intersect only at certain points. Since the parabola can only change direction once, it cannot cross the line more than twice.

Lesson Performance Task

Some students may not be familiar with the terms pit row and pace car. Ask volunteers familiar with motor racing to help define these terms. The pit row is the area where teams set up garages during races. Each team may have one pit per car. The pace car is a car that leads the racing cars at a safe speed either at the start of the race or during a caution period, such as when debris is on the track. The pace car enters the track ahead of the leading car in the race, and race cars are not allowed to pass the pace car during a caution period.

A race car leaves pit row at a speed of 40 feet per second and accelerates at a constant rate of 44 feet per second. Its distance from the pit exit is given by the function d r (t) = 22t 2 + 40t. The race car leaves ahead of an approaching pace car traveling at a constant speed of 120 feet per second. In each case, find out if the pace car will catch up to the race car, and if so, how far down the track it will catch up. If there is more than one solution, explain how you know which one to select.

a. The pace car passes by the exit to pit row 1 second after the race car exits. The race car is traveling at a constant speed, so its position is a linear function of

time, d p (t) = mt + b. The slope of the line is the speed of the pace car, m = 120. To find b, use the time and position when the pace car passes the pit row exit. d p (1) = 0

120(1) + b = 0 120 + b = 0 b = -120

The position of the pace car is given by d p (t) = 120t - 120.

the two cars and explain what they represent. Students should recognize that they represent the positions of the two cars at time t = 0. The starting position of the race car is 0. The pace car does not reach the pit exit until after the race car leaves, so its starting position is represented by a negative number.

b. The pace car passes the exit half a second after the race car.

To solve part b, find the function for the pace car again: m = 120.

There are two solutions because the pace car first passes the race car at 1.06 seconds, and then the race car passes in front again at 2.58 seconds.

Students should recognize that the distance between the two graphs increases as you extend the curves in either direction.

EXTENSION ACTIVITY IN2_MNLESE389830_U4M09L5.indd 422

Have students find and graph an equation for the position of a pace car that catches up to the race car exactly once, but does not pass it. Students need to find a line with slope 120 that is tangent to the parabola. They can sketch a line that appears to be tangent, then adjust the y-intercept until they find a line with only one intersection point. Alternatively, they can set the equation d p(t) = 120t + b equal to d r(t) = 22t 2 + 40t, put the resulting quadratic equation in standard form, and find the value of b that will make the discriminant equal to zero. When the equation is d p(t) = 120t - 72.7, the pace car will catch up to the race car at about t = 1.82 seconds, 145.7 feet from the pit exit.

So, this initial velocity is acceptable to the fire officials. Similarly, at an initial velocity of 40 m/s, the equation of the parabola is y = -4.9x 2 + 40x + 1.9, the x-coordinate of the 40 vertex is at -_ ≈ 4.082, and the maximum 2(-4.9) height is:

MODULE PERFORMANCE TASK

Fireworks Display You are planning a fireworks show for a local Fourth of July celebration. Fire officials require that all fireworks explode at a height greater than 70 meters so that debris has a chance to cool off as it falls.

y = -4.9(4.082) + 40(4.082) + 1.9 2

© Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company

The firing platform for the fireworks is 1.9 meters off the ground. You have the option of firing your fireworks at an initial velocity of anywhere between 35 and 42 meters/second. If every firework is timed to explode when it reaches its maximum height, find two different initial velocities that are acceptable to the local fire officials. Then, figure out how long to delay the firing of the slower firework so that it will explode at the same time as the faster firework. Use your own paper to complete the task. Be sure to write down all your data and assumptions. Then use graphs, tables, or algebra to explain how you reached your conclusion.

≈ 83.53 This is also high enough for the fire officials. The slower firework explodes about 3.776 seconds after firing, and the faster firework explodes about 4.082 seconds after firing. For both fireworks to explode at the same time, the slower firework should be delayed by 4.082 - 3.776, or 0.306 second.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES When looking at a plot of the residuals, how do you determine whether your line is a good model for the data? Explain. If the residual values are on or near the x-axis and evenly distributed on both sides of the axis, it means that the residuals are small and therefore the line is close to being ideal for the data. If the residual values are large (not near the x-axis) and/or not evenly distributed on both sides of the axis, it means that the line is not close to being ideal for the data.

10 30 50 x-values

D

Evaluate the quality of fit to the data for the line y = 0.25x + 29. Since all of the residuals are small and the points on the residual plot are tightly

distributed around the x-axis, the line y = 0.25x + 29 is a good model for this situation. Reflect

Discussion When comparing two lines of fit for a single data set, how does the residual size show which line is the best model? The better model has residuals closer to 0.

2.

Discussion What would the residual plot look like if a line of fit is not a good model for a data set? The residual plot would show points randomly scattered both above and below the x-axis, and the distances from the x-axis would be large.

Math Background

4/2/14 1:45 AM

Why does linear regression use the sum of the squares of the residuals rather than just the sum? First, adding just the residuals can give misleading results. Large positives and negatives can cancel each other out, allowing a very loose fit of data points to have a very small sum. Summing the absolute values of the residuals might solve this problem but presents other complications. Using squares of residuals solves the positive-negative cancellation problem and also ensures that very large residuals affect the sum more than small residuals.

EXPLORE 2

Analyzing Squared Residuals

When different people fit lines to the same data set, they are likely to choose slightly different lines. Another way to compare the quality of a line of fit is by squaring residuals. In this model, the closer the sum of the squared residuals is to 0, the better the line fits the data.

Analyzing Squared Residuals

In the previous section, a line of data was fit for the median age of females over time. After performing this task, two students came up with slightly different results. Student A came up with the equation y = 0.25x + 29.0 while Student B came up with the equation y = 0.25x + 28.8, where x is the time in years since 1970 and y is the median age of females in both cases.

AVOID COMMON ERRORS

A

In squaring decimals, some students may forget to move the decimal point in their answers. Remind students that the square of a decimal should have twice as many decimal places as the original number.

Complete each table below.

y = 0.25x + 29.0

3.

How does squaring a residual affect the residual’s value? If a residual is between 0 and 1, squaring the residual makes the residual smaller. If a

residual is negative, squaring the residual makes the residual positive. 4.

Are the sums of residuals or the sum of the squares of residuals a better measure of quality of fit? The sum of the squares of residuals is a better measure of quality of fit.

Each student will choose a line of fit, find its equation, and calculate the sum of the squares of the residuals. Then the two students should compare their results to determine which line is a better fit for the data. Students can then use a graphing calculator to compare their equations to the equation for the line of best fit.

underpinning for wanting the sum of squared residuals to be as small as possible. Point out that the residuals are a measure of how far the data points are from the line.

Encourage students to try performing regression analysis using an online application. A quick browser search will turn up several online regression calculators. Make sure that students pay attention to the format in which ordered pairs must be entered for the application they choose. Applications typically will plot the data points, show the line of best fit, and provide an equation for the line.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES When comparing different lines of fit, how do you know which line has the best fit? Explain. Find the residuals for each line, square them, and find their sums. The line with the smallest sum for the squares of its residuals is the best fit.

5.

How do negative signs on residuals affect the sum of squared residuals? Negative residuals do not affect the sum of squared residuals.

6.

What quadrant is not used in finding the sum of squared residuals that is used in finding the sum of residuals? Quadrant IV

Your Turn

How can you find the value of a residual by looking at the coordinates of the point on a residual plot? The y-coordinate of the point will be the value of the residual.

Connect Vocabulary In this lesson, students work with residuals to find the line of best fit for a data set. Relate the word residual to the word residue, which students may have used in a science context. Students should be able to make a connection between a small amount that is left over (residue) and the amount that a data value differs from the predicted value (residual). Suggest they think of wanting residuals to be as small as possible as wanting to avoid having a lot of “leftovers.”

Performing Linear Regression

Explain 2

EXPLAIN 2

The least-squares line for a data set is the line of fit for which the sum of the squared residuals is as small as possible. Therefore the least-squares line is a line of best fit. A line of best fit is the line that comes closest to all of the points in the data set, using a given process. Linear regression is a method for finding the least-squares line. Example 2

Given shows latitudes and average temperatures in degrees Celsius for several cities, use your calculator to find an equation for the line of best fit. Then interpret the correlation coefficient and use the line of best fit to estimate the average temperature of another city using the given latitude.

INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES Focus on Technology MP.5 Make sure that students understand the purpose of each step when using a calculator to find a line of best fit. They first input the data, then create a scatter plot, then use the linear regression feature to find the equation for the line of best fit. Next they input the equation and graph it. Students should be able to explain what they are doing at each step in the process.

Estimate the average temperature in Vancouver, Canada at 49.1°N. Create a scatter plot of the data.

Use the Linear Regression feature to find the equation for the line of best fit using the lists of data you entered. Be sure have the calculator also display values for the correlation coefficient r and r 2. The correlation coefficient is about -0.95, which is very strong. This indicates a strong correlation, so we can rely on the line of fit for estimating average temperatures for other locations within the same range of latitudes.

The equation for the line of best fit is y ≈ -0.693x + 39.11.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES

Graph the line of best fit with the data points in the scatter plot.

The calculator’s linear regression feature gives you an equation in the form y = ax + b. What form of linear equation is that? What do a and b represent? Slope-intercept form; a is the slope of the line of best fit, and b is the y-intercept.

Use the TRACE function to find the approximate average temperature in degrees Celsius for a latitude of 49.1°N. The average temperature in Vancouver should be around 5°C.



How does the line of fit displayed on the calculator differ from lines of fit found in previous exercises? Explain. The lines of fit found in previous exercises were estimates; the line of fit found using a calculator is the best possible fit for the data points given.

While finding the squares of the residuals will mask this error because the square of a real number is always nonnegative, students should be careful to calculate the residuals correctly if they want to know whether the model’s predicted value is an underestimate (positive residual) or an overestimate (negative residual) of the actual value.

Demographics Each table lists the median age of people living in the United States, based on the results of the United States Census over the past few decades. Use residuals to calculate the quality of fit for the line y = 0.5x + 20, where y is median age and x is years since 1970.

Since the residuals are large, the line y = 0.5x + 20 is not a good fit.

22. Critical Thinking The residual plot of an equation has x-values that are close to the x-axis from x = 0 to x = 10, but has values that are far from the axis from x = 10 to x = 30. Is this a strong or weak relationship?

The strength of the relationship is weak because of the weak correlation between x = 10 and x = 30. A short distance of weak correlation cannot be offset by an otherwise strong correlation.

23. Communicate Mathematical Ideas In a squared residual plot, the residuals form a horizontal line at y = 6. What does this mean? This means that either all of the residuals are either the same as each other or the opposite of each other. 24. Interpret the Answer Explain one situation other than those in this section where squared residuals are useful.

Sample Answer: Squared residuals are useful when the velocity equation of a car is unknown but needs to be approximated as well as possible. Using squared residuals will determine how well the approximated line fits the data.

Lesson Performance Task

CONNECT VOCABULARY Some students may not understand the meaning of Earth’s hemispheres, the equator, or latitude. Explain that the equator is an imaginary horizontal line that encircles the Earth, dividing it into two equal halves called the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. A series of lines parallel to the equator, called latitude lines, are used to indicate how far north or south of the equator any point on Earth is located. Latitude values are based on a scale that puts the equator at 0° latitude, the north pole at latitude 90° North, and the south pole at latitude 90° South. On a globe of Earth, point out the equator, the lines of latitude and longitude, and the locations of the cities listed in the table.

The table shows the latitudes and average temperatures for the 10 largest cities in the Southern Hemisphere.

a. Use a graphing calculator to find a line of best fit for this data set. What is the equation for the best-fit line? Interpret the meaning of the slope of this line. b. The city of Piggs Peak, Swaziland, is at latitude 2.0 °S. Use the equation of your best-fit line to predict the average temperature in Piggs Peak. The actual average temperature for Piggs Peak is 65.3 °F. How might you account for this difference in predicted and actual values?

a. The equation of the best-fit line is y ≈ -0.495x + 78.772. The slope of the line is about -0.5, which indicates that the average temperature decreases about 0.5 °F for every degree of increase in south latitude. b. Students should find that the predicted average temperature for Piggs Peak is about 65.9 °F. This divergence of the actual value from the predicted value is due at least in part to the fact that the correlation coefficient is 0.62, which is not a very strong correlation.

c. Assume that you graphed the latitude and average temperature for 10 cities in the Southern Hemisphere. Predict how the line of best fit for that data set might compare with the best-fit line for the Northern Hemisphere cities.

c. Students should predict that the line for 10 different cities in the Southern Hemisphere would be similar to this best-fit line. Interested students could research the latitude and average temperature for 10 different cities at a range of latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere and carry out the linear regression.

For example, the rules might be a > 0 and b > 1, a < 0 and 0 < b < 1, a > 0 and 0 < b < 1, and a < 0 and b > 1. Then, give each pair one of each type of function and its graph.

Connect Vocabulary Make sure that students understand what is meant by the end behavior of a function. The end behavior of a function describes what happens to the function values as x gets larger and larger (for example, as x becomes 100, 1000, and 1,000,000) and what happens to the function values as the values of x get smaller and smaller (for example, as x becomes –100, –1000, and –1,000,000). So, end behavior describes what happens to f(x) when x is farther and farther to the right and what happens to f(x) when x is farther and farther to the left.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES Before you graph it, how can you tell that the x function f(x) = 500(0.8) will decrease as x increases? A positive number is being multiplied x times by a number between 0 and 1, so it will get smaller as x increases.

Modeling Exponential Growth and Decay

460

Recall that a function of the form y = ab x represents exponential growth when a > 0 and b > 1. If b is replaced by t 1 + r and x is replaced by t, then the function is the exponential growth model y = a(1 + r) , where a is the initial amount, the base (1 + r) is the growth factor, r is the growth rate, and t is the time interval. The value of the model increases with time.

What does it mean for a function to approach 0 as x increases without bound? Is 0 a value of the function? The value of the function gets closer and closer to 0 as x increases, but it never reaches 0.

Critical Thinking

4/2/14 1:50 AM

To help students understand the difference between exponential growth and linear growth, point out that in exponential growth or decay, the amount added or subtracted in each time period is proportional to the amount already present. For exponential growth, this means that as the amount becomes greater, the amount of increase in each time period also becomes greater. Contrast this to linear growth, in which the amount of increase remains constant.

What is the domain for a function that represents the exponential growth or decay of a population? Explain. The domain is all non-negative real numbers, because the model applies to all future times (positive values of t) but not past times (negative values of t).

Modeling Exponential Decay

Explain 2

Recall that a function of the form y = ab x represents exponential decay when a > 0 and 0 < b < 1. If b is replaced t by 1 - r and x is replaced by t, then the function is the exponential decay model y = a(1 - r) , where a is the initial amount, the base (1 - r) is the decay factor, r is the decay rate, and t is the time interval.

What is the range for a function describing the exponential growth or decay of a population? For a growth function, the range consists of all numbers greater than or equal to the starting value of the population. For a decay function, the range includes all numbers between the starting value and 0.

Example 2

While students are probably familiar with the word growth, they may be less familiar with decay. Explain that, in everyday use, it can mean rot, or loss of strength and health. Have students list key words that can indicate growth or decay in descriptions of real-world situations. Examples of key words for growth include increases, goes up, rises, gains. Examples of key words for decay include decreases, goes down, falls, loses value, declines, depreciates.

Point out that the independent variable represents time, while the meaning of the dependent variable can vary with the situation. Remind students to label the axes of their graphs with the correct quantities and units. Students should also recognize that the y-intercept is the value of the independent variable at time t = 0, which may be called its initial value or starting value.

What is wrong with the student’s work? 4 25000(0.2) $4 t t The exponential decay function is y = 2500(1 - 0.2) , or y = 2500(0.8) .

Make a Conjecture The value of a certain car can be modeled by the function t y = 18000(0.76) , where t is time in years. Will the value of the function ever be 0?

The value of the function will never be 0 because the right side of the function is a product of positive numbers. Although the value can become extremely close to 0, it can never equal 0. 28. Communicate Mathematical Ideas Explain how a graph of an exponential function may resemble the graph of a linear function.

A graph of an exponential function may appear to be a linear function if only a small part of the graph is shown and the values in that part are changing slowly.

CONNECT VOCABULARY Some students may not be familiar with the terms archeologist, artifacts, or radiometric dating. Explain that an archeologist studies prehistoric people and cultures by analyzing items that remain for us to find, such as their bones, weapons, artifacts, and tools. Artifacts are objects that the people made, such as pottery. Radiometric dating, also called radioactive dating, is a method of determining the age of an object based on the rate of decay of an element in the object.

Archeologists have several methods of determining the age of recovered artifacts. One method is radioactive dating. All matter is made of atoms. Atoms, in turn, are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. An “element” is defined as an atom with a given number of protons. Carbon, for example, has exactly 12 protons. Carbon atoms can, however, have different numbers of neutrons. These are known as “isotopes” of carbon. Carbon-12 has 12 neutrons, carbon-13 has 13 neutrons, and carbon-14 has 14 neutrons. All carbon-based life forms contain these different isotopes of carbon. Carbon-12 and carbon-13 account for over 99% of all the carbon in living things. Carbon-14, however, accounts for approximately 1 part per trillion or 0.0000000001% of the total carbon in living things. More importantly, carbon-14 is unstable and has a half-life of approximately 5700 years. This means that, within the span of 5700 years, one-half of any amount of carbon will “decay” into another atom. In other words, if you had 10 g of carbon-14 today, only 5 g would remain after 5700 years. But, as long as an organism is living, it keeps taking in and releasing carbon-14, so the level of it in the organism, as small as it is, remains constant. Once an organism dies, however, it no longer ingests carbon-14, so the level of carbon-14 in it drops due to radioactive decay. Because we know how much carbon-14 an organism had when it was alive, as well as how long it takes for that amount to become half of what it was, you can determine the age of the organism by comparing these two values.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES What is the growth factor (the base raised to a power) in the exponential model? Explain. It is 1 - 0.5 = 0.5, because the amount of carbon-14 decreases by half during every time period.

Have students research how very large numbers such as million, billion, trillion, and quadrillion compare to each other. Then have students rewrite the model C(n) in different units and tell how the graph would change.

Students may find that since 1 trillion, or 10 12, is equal to 1000 billion, or 10 3 ∙ 10 9, 1 part per trillion is the same as 0.001 parts per billion. Therefore, the model could be C(n) = 0.001(0.5)n. The graph would differ only in that the scale of the vertical axis would be in parts per billion rather than parts per quadrillion.

The student is expected to: COMMON CORE

A-CED.A.2

A linear function is a straight line, a quadratic function is a parabola, and an exponential function is a curve that approaches a horizontal asymptote in one direction and curves upward to infinity in the other direction.

Mathematical Practices COMMON CORE

You can determine if the function is linear or exponential when the values of x and y are presented in a table. For a constant change in x-values, if the difference between the associated y-values is constant, then the function is linear. If the ratio of the associated y-values is constant, then the function is exponential.

MP.5 Using Tools

Language Objective

What if neither the ratio of successive terms nor the first differences are roughly constant? There is a clue in the method for recognizing a linear function. Find the second difference. The second difference is the value obtained by subtracting consecutive first differences. If this number is non-zero, then the function will be quadratic. Examine the graph of the given quadratic function; then construct a table with values for x, y, the first and second differences, and the ratio of consecutive terms.

Explain to a partner how to create a quadratic function to fit data.

Explain 1

Verify Quadratic Relationships Using Quadratic Regression

The second differences for ƒ(x) = x 2, the parent quadratic function, are constant for values of y when the corresponding differences between x-values are constant. Now, do the reverse. For a given set of data, verify that the second differences are constant and then use a graphing calculator to find a quadratic model for the data. Enter the independent variable into List 1 and the dependent variable into List 2, and perform a quadratic regression on the data. When your calculator performs a quadratic regression, it uses a specific statistical method to fit a quadratic model to the data. As with linear regression, the data will not be perfect. When finding a model, if the first differences are close but not exactly equal, a linear model will still be a good fit. Likewise, if the second differences aren’t exactly the same, a quadratic model will be a good fit if the second differences are close to being the same.

AVOID COMMON ERRORS Make sure students can correctly substitute values for a, b, and c into the standard form of a quadratic equation, y = ax 2 + bx + c. For example, if a = 3, b = 5, and c = -6, the quadratic equation should be. y = 3x 2 + 5x - 6.

This lesson provides an opportunity to address Mathematical Practice MP.5, which calls for students to “use tools.” Students use paper and pencil to find the first differences and second differences in order to determine whether a quadratic function can fit given data. Students also use graphing calculators to find a quadratic function that fits a data set, and use that function to solve real-world problems.

How is performing a quadratic regression on a data set similar to performing a linear regression on a data set? Performing a quadratic regression produces a quadratic equation that fits the data. Performing a linear regression produces an equation of a line that fits the data.

Find the rest of the second differences and fill in the rest of the table. Notice that the second differences are very close to being constant. Use a graphing calculator to find the equation for the quadratic regression. y ≈ 1.026x2 - 0.0548x + 0.3571 Note that the correlation coefficient is very close to 1, so the model is a good fit. Plot the regression equation over the scatter plot.

Critical Thinking

4/2/14 1:51 AM

After finding first differences and second differences for a data set, students may be interested in extending the concept to third differences. Point out that a data set with similar first differences can be modeled with a function in the form y = ax + b, and a data set with similar second differences can be modeled with a function in the form y = ax 2 + bx + c. Discuss with students what kind of function would model a data set with similar third differences. For example, have students find the third differences of the data sets generated by y = x 3 and y = x 3 + 4x 2 - 6x + 7.

Discussion Give examples of reasons why the second differences in real-world data won’t necessarily be equal. Sample answer: The second differences will not be exactly equal because of human error, inexactness of measurements, minor differences between theoretical and real-world conditions, and using multiple measuring devices that are not calibrated to the same degree of accuracy.

Your Turn

Find a quadratic model for the given situation. Begin by creating a scatter plot of the given data on your graphing calculator, and then find the second differences to verify the data is quadratic.

Find a quadratic model for the given situation. Begin by creating a scatter plot of the given data on your graphing calculator, and then find the second differences to verify the data is quadratic. Finally, use a graphing calculator to perform a quadratic regression on the data.

AVOID COMMON ERRORS Students may incorrectly assume that quadratic regression will produce a function that passes through most of the points in the data set. Remind students that the quadratic function that fits the data set should be close to the points in the data set, but probably will not pass through all the points.

18. What If? If you perform a quadratic regression on the data, will the value of R2 be close to 1? Justify your answer. © Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company • Image Credits: ©Tetra Images/Alamy

The value of R 2 for a quadratic regression model is about 0.95, but the value of R 2 for an exponential regression is nearly 1, so an exponential regression model is better for this data set. 19. Communicate Mathematical Ideas Perform a quadratic regression on the data; then perform a quadratic regression using only the first four data points. Explain the difference in R 2 values between the two models.

R2 = 0.9493 Full Set: y ≈ 13.84x2 - 86.13x + 104.6 2 R2 = 1 Four points: y ≈ 0.632x + 0.0788x + 1.290 The value of R2 for the full set reflects the entire graph, so even though a model could be very close for small values of x, any model over a large domain will not be close at all.

20. Multi-Part A trebuchet is a catapult that was used in the Middle Ages to hurl projectiles during a siege. It is now used in various regions of the United States to throw pumpkins. Teams build trebuchets to compete to see who can throw a pumpkin the farthest. On the practice field, one team has measured the height of its pumpkin after it is launched at 1-second intervals. The results are displayed in the table below.

a. Find a quadratic function that models the data. y ≈ -17.36x2 + 182.9x - 18.45 R2 = 0.9925 b. Determine the flight time of the pumpkin. The pumpkin will travel until its height is 0. This occurs 10.43 seconds after launch. c.

If the pumpkin travels horizontally at a speed of 120 feet per second, how far does it travel before it hits the ground? 10.43 ⋅ 120 = 1251.6 feet.

d. At the official competition, the trebuchet is situated on a slight rise 10 feet above the targeting area. How far will the pumpkin travel in the competition, assuming the height relative to the base of the trebuchet is modeled by the same function and it moves with the same horizontal speed?

Find the zero of the sum of the regression function and 10 to find the time and then multiply by the horizontal speed.

© Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company

The new zero is 10.49 seconds after launch. So the pumpkin will travel 10.49 ⋅ 120 = 1258.8 feet.

Lesson Performance Task

MODELING Relate the negative values in the data table to the distances below the base of the lighthouse. Draw a sketch of the lighthouse with its base at point 0 and its top at point 200. The water level should be at –300. Ask: After 5 seconds have elapsed, has the object fallen into the water? No, it has not; it is at –200, which is 100 feet above the water.

A student stands at the top of a lighthouse that is 200 feet tall. The base of the lighthouse is an additional 300 feet above the ocean below, and the student has a clear shot to the water below to examine the claims made by Galileo. But, this being the 21st century, the student also has a sophisticated laser tracker that continually tracks the exact height of the dropped object from the ground as well as the length of time elapsed from the drop. At the end of the trial, the student gets sample data in the form of a table.

AVOID COMMON ERRORS Some students may subtract in the wrong order when finding the first differences or the second differences. Remind students that to find a first difference, they need to pick a height and then subtract the previous height. A second difference is a first difference minus the difference before it.

Examine the data and determine the relationship between time and height. Then find the function that models the data. (Hint: Negative values represent when the object passes the base of the lighthouse.)

The common ratio and first difference are not constant. The second difference is constant so the data is quadratic. The formula modeling the height of the ball above ground at time t is h(t) = -16t 2 + 200.

Students may discover that Galileo’s experiment may actually have been a thought experiment, and that someone else later dropped the cannonballs from the tower. Have students research how air resistance affects the rate of fall of, for example, a hammer and a feather. Then have students investigate how astronauts on the moon showed that a hammer and a feather dropped together from the same height above the surface struck the ground at the same time. There was no air resistance because the moon has no atmosphere.

Integrate Mathematical Practices

This lesson provides an opportunity to address Mathematical Practice MP.5, which calls for students to “use tools.” Students compare the end behavior of the graphs of linear, quadratic, and exponential equations. Students construct tables to identify the best model for a particular data set, and use calculators to perform regressions to identify a function that best fits a data set.

Comparing Linear, Exponential, and Quadratic Models

EXPLAIN 1

Make a Conjecture Does an increasing exponential function always grow faster than an increasing quadratic function? Will the growth rate of an increasing exponential function eventually exceed that of an increasing quadratic function? The exponential will not always grow faster initially, because the average growth in an interval depends on the parameters (for example Q (x) = 5x 2 grows faster than

Justifying a Quadratic Model as More Appropriate Than a Linear Model

E (x) = 2 x from 0 to 1). However, the exponential will always catch up and grow faster than the quadratic.

AVOID COMMON ERRORS

Explain 1

Some students may think that a quadratic function will not model a data set if, as x increases, y always increases, or if, as x increases, y always decreases. Use sketches to show that a quadratic function can model such a data set. For example, y = -x 2 might model the data set that begins (1, –1), (2, –4), (3, –9).

Justifying a Quadratic Model as More Appropriate Than a Linear Model

The first step in modeling data is selecting an appropriate functional form. If you are trying to decide between a quadratic and a linear model, for example, you may compare interval rates of change or the end behavior. First and second differences are useful for identifying linear and quadratic functions if the data points have equally spaced x-values. Example 1

Shape: The graph of the data appears to follow a curved path that starts downward and turns back upward. End Behavior: The path appears to increase without end as x approaches infinity and to increase without end as x approaches negative infinity. Based on the apparent curvature and end behavior, the function is quadratic.

COLLABORATIVE LEARNING IN2_MNLESE389830_U4M10L5.indd 491

Small Group Activity Have students work in groups of four. Have each student write the equation of a linear function, a quadratic function, or an exponential function, then create a data set of points that are close to the graph of the function. Then, each student graphs a data set selected by another in the group, decides which type of function is modeled by the graph, and uses a regression to identify the function. Finally, students check with the student who wrote the original function to see whether they chose the right kind of function.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES What are two things that differentiate a data set that is better modeled by a quadratic function from a data set that is better modeled by a linear function? The graph of the first data set appears to follow a curve, while the graph of the second appears to follow a line. The first set does not have constant first differences but does have constant second differences, while the second set has constant first differences.

The first differences increase as x increases, while the second differences are constant, which is characteristic of a quadratic function.

Curriculum Integration Discuss why having a function that models a data set can be useful. For example, having such a model can help people make projections into the future, which may help them plan and make policy decisions. Have students brainstorm issues for which data might be useful in making such decisions.

5.

Was the end behavior helpful in determining that the function in Example 1B was a quadratic? Explain. No, it would have been misleading to assume the small range of data supplied

demonstrated the same behavior as the overall function. All quadratic functions change vertical direction at the vertex of the parabola and have the same end behavior for increasing and decreasing x. However, a data set corresponding to a quadratic function need not include the vertex, and the apparent end behavior can be misleading. 6.

Discussion Can you always tell that a function is quadratic by looking at a graph of it? No, it depends on how much of the function is plotted. A quadratic function can appear linear or exponential depending on how many data points are shown on the graph.

LANGUAGE SUPPORT IN2_MNLESE389830_U4M10L5.indd 493

Connect Vocabulary Make sure that students understand what it means for a variable to approach infinity and to approach negative infinity. For example, to say that as x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches infinity means that as x gets larger and larger, f(x) gets larger and larger without any limit. If you pick a number N, no matter how large, you can find a number x so that f(x) > N. In other words, there is no limit to how large f(x) gets as x increases.

Justifying a Quadratic Model as More Appropriate Than an Exponential Model

Explain 2

EXPLAIN 2

Previously, you learned to model data with an exponential function. How do you choose between a quadratic and an exponential function to model a given set of data? Graph the given data points and compare the trend of the data with the general shape and end behavior of the parent quadratic and exponential functions. Use the results to decide if the function appears to be quadratic or exponential. Then examine the first and second differences and the ratios of the function using the function values corresponding to x-values separated by a constant amount.

Justifying a Quadratic Model as More Appropriate Than an Exponential Model

Example 2

Sometimes students confuse quadratic functions with exponential functions because both have exponents. Remind students that in order for a function to be an exponential function, it must be of the form, f (x ) = ab x, with the variable x as an exponent.

Determine if the function represented in the given table is quadratic or exponential. Plot the given points and analyze the graph. Draw a conclusion if possible. Then find the first and second differences and ratios and either verify your conclusion or determine the family of the function.

Since the ratios are dropping, it is possible that the data set can be modeled by an exponential regression. Since the average of the second differences is around 0, however, it is most likely that the data set should be modeled by a linear regression. Perform the linear regression by first creating a data table by using the STAT function on a calculator. Go to STAT, move over to CALC, type 4, and press ENTER to perform the regression.

Press ZOOM and 9 to fit the data. Plot the line from the regression to test its fit. The linear regression is a good fit for the data set. To find the estimated average lifespan in 2000, use the equation y = 3.23x + 48.57 and substitute 10 for x. y = 3.23x + 48.57 y = 3.23(10) + 48.57 = 32.3 + 48.57 = 80.87 The average lifespan will be 80.87 years in the year 2000.

Graph the scatterplot and an approximate line of fit to determine the best function to use for this data set. The function appears to best fit a quadratic function. The end behavior of the data is as x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. Since the ratios increase quickly and then decrease quickly, a quadratic function should probably be used for this data set. The quadratic regression is a good fit for the data set. To find the percentage of people living in central cities in the United States in 2000, use the equation y = -0.61x 2 + 5.46x + 20.89 and substitute 9 for x. y = -0.61x 2 + 5.46x + 20.89

The end behavior of the data is that as x approaches infinity, f (x) approaches infinity. The changing ratios suggest that the data set is best described by a quadratic or linear function. However, the average of the second difference is close to 0, so a linear regression should be used. The linear regression is a good fit for the data set. To find the horsepower a car weighing 6500 pounds should have in 2012, use the equation y = 0.13x - 239.31 and substitute 6500 for x.

y = 0.13x - 239.31

= 0.13(6500) - 239.31

The data set appears to best fit a linear function.

= 845.00 - 239.31 = 605.69

It makes sense to round in this problem since horsepower is typically expressed in terms of whole numbers, so a car weighing 6500 pounds will have 606 horsepower in 2012. Module 10

Guide students to see that the shape of the graph is useful but that making a function table and finding first differences, second differences, and ratios can also provide important information when selecting the model to fit a data set.

13. What do function tables tell you that graphs don’t ? How can this information be used to help you select a model? Function tables can be used to find first and second differences as well as the ratio

between terms to help you distinguish linear, quadratic, and exponential models when the data do not show the end behavior.

INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY

Critical Thinking A set of data was modeled by using the quadratic, linear, and exponential forms of regression. Nearly identical statistically significant r 2-values were produced in all three situations. Which type of regression model should be used? Explain. If a quadratic, linear, and exponential regression model were to produce the same answer, the linear model should be used since it is preferable to use the simplest answer that fits the data. There is no evidence that a quadratic or exponential is a better fit than the linear.

Have students plot the data values and the quadratic function on the same coordinate plane to see how the function fits the data.

INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES Focus on Modeling MP.4 Have students create a scatter plot of the data

10. Explain the Error To determine if the data represents a linear model, Louise looked at the difference in y-values: 110, 110, 110, 110, 110.

and perform a linear regression, then a quadratic regression of the data. Ask questions such as: Which model best describes the data set? Explain why. The quadratic model best describes the data set because the points appear to lie on a parabola rather than on a straight line. Why does neither model represent the data very accurately? The weight of a dog does not increase endlessly over time as indicated by the linear function, nor does it decrease endlessly over time as indicated by the quadratic function.

She decided that since the differences between the y-values are all the same, a linear model would be appropriate. Explain her mistake.

Although the y-values are separated by the same difference, this difference does not correspond to an equal change in x-values. Louise should have checked that the x-values changed by a constant interval before finding the difference between y-values. 11. Critical Thinking Suppose that the following r 2-values were produced from an unknown set of data.

The first differences are too dissimilar and the ratios are decreasing. Use quadratic regression to find a model, even though the second differences are not very similar. w(t) = -0.268t 2 + 7.364t - 1.8, where w is the weight of the puppy and t is the age of the puppy. The model should be fairly accurate when t = 12 because it is fairly close to the domain of the data set. At t = 24, the model will not be very accurate because the end behavior of the weight of an animal is a set value and for a quadratic function with a negative leading term, as t increases without end, w(t) decreases without end.

Have students research a table of typical weights for Great Danes. Have students use data from their research to extend or modify the data table given in the Lesson Performance Task. Ask students to evaluate how the new data would change their answers to the Task. Students may find that most weight charts are given in pounds, so they will need to convert to kilograms in order to extend the data in the table. Students will also find that the weight of a Great Dane reaches its maximum and then remains there throughout the dog’s maturity.

For the first year, they will need to subtract from the initial population of 1000 goats. • If students are having trouble identifying the function that fits the goat data, encourage them to consider the scatter plot in two parts, one for the domain 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and one for the domain 10 < x ≤ 20.

by a linear, exponential, or quadratic function. Explain your answer.

The data are best represented by an exponential model. The first differences are not constant, so the data should not be represented by a linear model. As x increases, the function appears to increase without end. As x decreases, the function appears to approach 0.

Possible answer: The value of c is 8. For the equation to have 1 real solution, it must be a perfect square trinomial, so b 2 - 4ac = 8 2 - 4(2)c = 0, so 8c = 64 and c = 8.

Module 10

AVOID COMMON ERRORS Item 3 Some students have a hard time deciding between quadratic and exponential representations because they seem to have similar shapes when using only a few data points. Remind students to look for second differences. When the second differences are the same, the function must be quadratic.

MATH IN CAREERS

competitive Diver Franco and Grace are competitive divers. Grace dives from a 20-meter cliff into the water, with an initial upward speed of 3.2 m/s. Franco dives from a springboard that is 10 meters above the water surface with an initial upward speed of 4.2 m/s.

Competitive Diver In this Unit Performance Task, students can see how a competitive diver uses mathematics on the job.

The height in meters of an object thrown into the air with an initial vertical velocity of v meters per second and initial height of h 0 can be modeled by h(t) = -5t 2 + vt + h 0.

For more information about careers in mathematics as well as various mathematics appreciation topics, visit the American Mathematical Society http://www.ams.org

Assume this model can be applied to both divers. a. Write a function h Grace(t) that models the height of Grace’s dive.

b. Write a function h Franco(t) that models the height of Franco’s dive.

c. Graph both functions on the same coordinate grid. Label each function. d. What is the domain and range of each function in terms of the situation? Explain. Round values to the nearest tenth.

The minimum value of the domain for both divers is zero, because the dives begin at t = 0. The maximum of the domain is the time when each diver hits the water. The minimum value of the range for both divers is 0, because h = 0 represents the height when the divers hit the water. The maximum value of the range is the maximum height each diver reaches.
