In this chapter, we will learn about functions and quadratic equations in one variable. We will learn how to identify and describe the characteristics of a quadratic expression in one variable. We will also learn to recognize the quadratic function as a many-to-one relationship, and then describe the characteristics of the quadratic function. By understanding this chapter, we will be able to apply these concepts in solving mathematical problems involving functions and quadratic equations.
• Identify and describe the characteristics of quadratic expressions in one variable.
• Recognise quadratic function as many-to-one relation, hence, describe the characteristics of quadratic functions.
• Investigate and make generalisation about the effect of changing the values of a, b and c on graphs of quadratic functions, f(x)=ax^2+bx+c
• Form quadratic functions based on situations, and hence relate to the quadratic equations.
• Explain the meaning of roots of a quadratic equation.
• Determine the roots of a quadratic equation by factorisation method.
• Sketch graphs of quadratic functions
• Solve problems involving quadratic equations
