Math Reflection 1 Pg. 18

1a. The graphs I have observed have all been parabolas or upside down U's. Also the graph is symmetrical. The highest point on the graph is always the square. The tables show the shapes facing a different direction. The are on the table increase to a certain point then decrease at the same pattern.

1b. The tables display the pattern on the graph by using coordinate points that go together in table form.

2. One way to find the maximum area for a rectangle with a fixed perimeter is to square the number on the x axis below the highest point on the graph. Another way is to find the largest length on the table and square that.

3. The rate is unsteady in quadratics. The graph is a parabola instead of a line. Also it goes up and down in the same equation.

Good posting! I like how clear you made what the maximum point was and it was very well worded and got to the point quickly. Your description of quadratic graphs is very clear. Good job.
