4.3 - Modeling With Quadratic Functions

Quadratic Model

A quadratic function that represents a real data set
Models are useful for making estimates
Three noncollinear points define a quadratic function. Create a model using technology or by solving a system of three equations

Open Ended

Write a quadratic function that models the data:

(Hint: solve the system of three equations for the values of a, b, and c).

Open Ended

Write the equation of the quadratic using the parameters from the Desmos graph:

Type response here

As a note, Desmos can also generate an equation using a quadratic regression.

Poll

Which method was easier to use to write the quadratic?

Writing and solving a system of three equations in three variables

Using technology to match the curve

Is this a trick question?

Open Ended

The prices for a one-topping pizza at the local pizza place are:

12 inch: $9.95

14 inch: $13.95

16 inch: $16.95

Use the Desmos graphing calculator to write a quadratic model for the price of different sizes of pizza. Use your model to estimate the cost of an 18 inch, one-topping pie.
