In
[link] , the quadratic was easily solved by factoring. However, there are many quadratics that cannot be factored. We can solve these quadratics by first rewriting them in standard form.
Given a quadratic function, find the
intercepts by rewriting in standard form .
Substitute
and
into
Substitute
into the general form of the quadratic function to find
Rewrite the quadratic in standard form using
and
Solve for when the output of the function will be zero to find the
intercepts.
Finding the
Intercepts of a parabola
Find the
intercepts of the quadratic function
We begin by solving for when the output will be zero.
Because the quadratic is not easily factorable in this case, we solve for the intercepts by first rewriting the quadratic in standard form.
We know that
Then we solve for
and
So now we can rewrite in standard form.
We can now solve for when the output will be zero.

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a 40 foot high building at a speed of 80 feet per second. The ball’s height above ground can be modeled by the equation
When does the ball reach the maximum height?
What is the maximum height of the ball?
When does the ball hit the ground?
The ball reaches the maximum height at the vertex of the parabola.
The ball reaches a maximum height after 2.5 seconds.
To find the maximum height, find the
coordinate of the vertex of the parabola.
The ball reaches a maximum height of 140 feet.
To find when the ball hits the ground, we need to determine when the height is zero,
We use the quadratic formula.
Because the square root does not simplify nicely, we can use a calculator to approximate the values of the solutions.
The second answer is outside the reasonable domain of our model, so we conclude the ball will hit the ground after about 5.458 seconds. See

Anatomy is the study of internal structure of an organism while physiology is the study of the function/relationship of the body organs working together as a system in an organism.

The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include:
1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of
