Every quadratic function has a related quadraticequation. A quadratic equation is an equation
that can be written in the standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0,
where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
Solving Quadratic Equations by GraphingSolving Quadratic Equations by Graphing
Notice that when writing a quadratic function as its related quadratic equation,
you replace y with 0. So y = 0.
y = ax2 + bx + c
0 = ax2 + bx + c
ax2 + bx + c = 0

One way to solve a quadratic equation in standard form is to graph the related function and find the x-values where y = 0. In other words, find the zeros of the related function. Recall that a quadratic function
may have two, one, or no zeros.

Solve each equation by graphing the related function.
A) 2x2 - 2 = 0
Step 1 Write the related function.
2x2 - 2 = y, or y = 2x2 + 0x - 2
Step 2 Graph the related function.
• The axis of symmetry is x = 0.
• The vertex is (0, -2) .
• Two other points are (1, 0) and (2, 6).
• Graph the points and reflect them across the axis of symmetry.

A dolphin jumps out of the water. The quadratic function y = -16x2 + 20x models the dolphin’s height above the water after x seconds. About how long is
the dolphin out of the water?
When the dolphin leaves the water, its height is 0, and when the dolphin reenters the water, its height is
0. So solve 0 = -16x2 + 20x to find the times when the dolphin leaves and reenters the water.
Step 1 Write the related function.
o = -16x2 + 20x y = -16x2 + 20x

Step 3 Find the zeros of the related function.
x = 1.25 y = 0
y = -16x2 + 20x
Step 2 Graph the related function. Use a graphing calculator.
The zeros appear to be 0 and 1.25. The dolphin leaves the water at 0 seconds and reenters the water at 1.25 seconds.
Check
0 - =16x2 + 20x
0- 16(1.25)2- 20(1.25)0 -16(1.5625) + 250 -25 + 250 0
Substitute 1.25 for x in the quadratic equation.

Let’s review
Every quadratic function has a related quadraticequation. A quadratic equation is an equation
that can be written in the standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0,
where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

Notice that when writing a quadratic function as its related quadratic equation,
you replace y with 0. So y = 0.
