Different forms of a quadratic function can be easier to use than others. Each form has its own advantages, depending on the kind of information that’s needed for a given purpose.

Design a chart, flow chart, mind map, or some other visual to help you organize the information that can easily be determined about the graph of a parabola when the function is written in vertex form, standard form, and factored form.

Create a graph for the demand for starfish using the following data table: quantity/price of starfish quantity (x axis) of starfish in dozens price (y axis) of starfish per dozen 0 8 2 6 3 5 5 2 7 1 9 0 is the relationship between the price of starfish and the quantity demanded inverse or direct? why? how many dozens of starfish are demanded at a price of five? calculate the slope of the line between the prices of 6 (quantity of 2) and 1 (quantity of 7) per dozen. describe the line when there is a direct relationship between price and quantity.
