QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS

Quadratic functions have important applications in science and engineering. For example, the parabolic path of a bouncing ball can be described by a quadratic function. This unit will introduce you to quadratic functions; in addition, you will solve quadratic equations and factor quadratic expressions.
