Calculating Function Equations from Points
The second page details methods for determining quadratic functions from given points and calculating missing coordinates.
Vocabulary: A quadratic function can be uniquely determined using three points with their x and y coordinates.
Example: Given points P₁(0,0), P₂(2,4), and P₃(3,9), we can solve for coefficients a, b, and c in f(x)=ax² + bx + c.
Highlight: The process involves creating a system of three equations and solving them simultaneously to find the function's coefficients.
