Public Awareness Campaign (continued) Role: You are to choose one of the following methods to support your public relations campaign. Audience You are to present to the mock parent group and convince them that quadratic functions and equations are a valuable asset to the Alberta Mathematics Curriculum. Product Your product should include: Four examples of parabolas in the real world. Include visuals. For one of your examples: Identify the vertex and its significance. Identify the y-intercept and its significance. Identify the number of x-intercepts and their significance. Determine the domain and range within the context of your example. Two quadratic equations in standard form: Calculate the x-intercepts using a minimum of two methods. Clearly show (or explain) all steps. Generate graphs of two quadratic functions, one in standard form and one in vertex form, using two of the following methods. table of values graphing calculator plot x-intercepts, y-intercept and vertex
