Finding the vertex of a quadratic function
Find the vertex of the quadratic function
Rewrite the quadratic in standard form (vertex form).
Rewriting into standard form, the stretch factor will be the same as the
in the original quadratic. First, find the horizontal coordinate of the vertex. Then find the vertical coordinate of the vertex. Substitute the values into standard form, using the
from the general form.
The standard form of a quadratic function prior to writing the function then becomes the following:
Finding the domain and range of a quadratic function
Any number can be the input value of a quadratic function. Therefore, the domain of any quadratic function is all real numbers. Because parabolas have a maximum or a minimum point, the range is restricted. Since the vertex of a parabola will be either a maximum or a minimum, the range will consist of all
y -values greater than or equal to the
y -coordinate at the turning point or less than or equal to the
y -coordinate at the turning point, depending on whether the parabola opens up or down.
Domain and range of a quadratic function
The domain of any
quadratic function is all real numbers unless the context of the function presents some restrictions.

you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time

Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
