Test Outline (In no particular order)

1. Graph a quadratic function and state the characteristics: vertex, axis of symmetry, intercepts, 

domain, range, max/min and direction of opening. 

2. Convert standard form to vertex form by completing the square 

3. Given some characteristics of a quadratic function, write the quadratic equation

4. Given a graph of a quadratic function, write the quadratic equation 

5. Word problem where the equation is given (Similar to p.194 # 13-15)

6. Word problem where you have to write the equation (Similar to p.195 # 18-19 or p.196 # 20-24)

7. One surprise question :)

Test Outline - UPDATED for 2024 :)

1. Solve a quadratic equation by graphing

2. Simplify an equation then solve by factoring

3. Solve a quadratic equation by completing the square

4. Write a quadratic equation given its roots (Similar to p.242 # 13)

5. A discriminant question (Similar to 4.4 (Part 2) notes, last example)

(Similar to 4.4 (Part 2) Worksheet # 5-8)

6. A word problem where you have to write the equation and solve by factoring 

(Similar to p.230 # 11,15,17 or p.241 # 8,11) 

7. A word problem where the equation is given and you have to solve by quadratic 

formula (Similar to p.255 #13)

8. A word problem where the equation is given and you have to determine if the ball will reach a certain height by calculating the discriminant (ie. negative discriminant = will not reach because there will be no solution and zero/postive discriminant = yes it will reach because there will be 1 or 2 solutions)  (Similar to 4.4 (Part 2) Worksheet #10)
