Describe the properties used to graph the function f(x) = –4x2 + 8x + 6

Graph: f(x)=3x1

How can you use the discriminant when you are graphing a quadratic function?

Find the difference quotient. f(x)=x2x+5

Graph the quadratic function f(x)=2x24x3 first using the properties as we did in the last section and then graph it using transformations. Which method do you prefer? Why

How do you graph a piecewise function?

During a nine-hour snowstorm, it snows at a rate of 1 inch per hour for the first 2 hours, at a rate of 2 inches per hour for the next 6 hours, and at a rate of 0.5 inch per hour for the final hour. Write and graph a piecewise-defined function that gives the depth of the snow during the snowstorm. How many inches of snow accumulated from the storm?
