Bittinger/Ellenbogen/Johnson: Elementary and Intermediate Algebra

Chapter 11:

  Quadratic Functions and Equations



  A key word in Chapter 11 is quadratic: quadratic equations, the Quadratic Formula, quadratic functions and their graphs, and equations reducible to quadratic form. This chapter continues to build on previous algebraic concepts to strengthen a student's comprehension of the algebraic problem solving process. Concepts such as graphing quadratic functions are reiterated later in the chapter, which concludes with a review of polynomial and rational inequalities. The speed at which the Mississippi River flows is an integral part of a real world application in Chapter 11.
