In this lesson, you learned how to:
- Recognize quadratic functions written in different ways.
- Use information from a pattern of shapes to write a quadratic function.
- Know that, in a pattern of shapes, the step number is the input and the number of squares is the output.
Here are the activities that helped you reach those goals:
- 7.3.1: Quadratic Expressions and Area
- In this activity, you represented the areas of shaded figures formed from squares with quadratic expressions.
- 7.3.2: Writing Equations for Patterns with Squares
- In this activity, you looked at visual patterns to write quadratic functions that represent sequences.
- 7.3.2: Self Check
- 7.3.2: Additional Resources
- 7.3.3: Quadratic Sequences
- In this activity, you explored more quadratic functions from visual sequences that involved quadratic expressions written in different forms.
- 7.3.3: Self Check
- 7.3.3: Additional Resources
- 7.3.4: Quadratic Function?
- In this activity, you wrote a quadratic function from a pattern that did not have a constant.
After these activities, you completed the following practice:
- 7.3.5: Practice
