Parabolas in Factored Form
Students plot a quadratic function in factored form, investigate the relationship between the equation and its graph, and use their observations to create functions from various descriptions of their graphs.
By adjusting sliders that control three parameters and then using these parameters as a quadratic function’s roots and leading coefficient, students can quickly graph a quadratic in factored form. By changing these parameters one at a time, students can easily explore the relationship between the parameters and the function’s graph.
