Lesson Description:
Be familiar with and recognize the algebraic form for a quadratic model, including the corresponding parameters and if those parameters have any meaning in the context of the functional relationship (e.g. does a parameter control the initial value, rate of change (shape), decreasing or increasing (flip), max/min, limiting values, etc.).

Staff Review
This lesson introduces non-linear functions using a quadratic model. The parameters of a function are explained and then discovered for quadratic functions. You can be given several different pieces of information and be expected to find unknown parameters. This is a very good quadratic model tutorial. A TI graphing calculator is also used in this lesson.
