Building on our previous series about graphing quadratic functions, we're now exploring how these graphs relate to real-world problem-solving.
We'll be using various methods to solve word problems that involve finding specific x-values corresponding to certain y-values (such as zero). These scenarios are often tied to gravity-themed problems, represented by equations containing the term -16t^2, which reflects Earth's gravitational acceleration in feet and seconds. As we work through these problems, you'll become familiar with upside-down parabolas on graphs, discussing key concepts like vertex points and maximum values.
I encourage y'all to engage with different problem-solving approaches throughout the video. My teaching style here will focus on clarity, aiming to equip you with versatile tools to tackle a range of quadratic word problems.

What a great video! Thank you Professor Robinson. I especially like when you point out the fact that that parabolic curve does not mean that the object is moving from left to right as time progresses. As you point out, rather in refers to the change in height as time progresses. That is such a helpful hint, and I will use it in my session today with my students. Thank you again.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to answer the questions you're asking... mainly because I don't understand WHAT questions you're asking. Half of the formulas you wrote aren't even formulas themselves, or you're using incorrect symbols. If you can find a way to rephrase the questions, I'll make my best attempt to answer these questions. However, if they are not very answerable in text form, sadly I'm not sure how much I'll be able to help you regardless! I hope we can figure out what it is you're asking and get it taken care of. :)

Hi for question 2b. I was taught to always have the -16^2 to be kept as positive. So as the equation would be 112=-16t^2+128t i flipped it to 16t^2-128t+112. Then using the quadratic formula i got 1.7 and 6.2. Any idea why
@MrRobinsonsMathChannel
@MrRobinsonsMathChannel 2 ай бұрын
Hi tripyyy, First of all, I think you were taught well to always keep it positive! You'll find that I do this on 3b (see 29:36). It benefits you in the long run, especially when it comes to work in the denominator. Heck, in any other problem where I do factoring (such as 2b), I also factor out the leading negative. As far as your solutions, I suppose what we would need to do is inspect your work. Even if you have the equation 16t^2 - 128t + 112 = 0 (and don't forget that zero, by the way), You should still ultimately get t = 1 and t = 7 by using the quadratic formula. Now, I'm a fan of dividing out common factors as I did (such as 16), but let's say you kept your numbers in there. So your formula would look like: t = [ -(-128) +/- sqrt( (-128)^2 - 4(16)(112) ) ] / [ 2(16) ] t = [ 128 +/- sqrt(16384 - 7168) ] / 32 t = [ 128 +/- sqrt(9216) ] / 32 t = [ 128 +/- 96 ] / 32 *t = 224/32 = 7* *t = 32/32 = 1* Check all of your values to see that you're substituting and simplifying properly. Feel free to check back with me on where you might have gone wrong, and I'll be happy to help you out! :)

-b/2a is the way to find the x value of any vertex for a quadratic equation written in standard form. I don't suppose this comment section is the time to explain why this is the case, but if you know Calculus or look into the quadratic formula a bit you might see why this is true. Just keep in mind that this video is teaching word problems for quadratic equations, so I'm somewhat assuming we know how to use certain things on quadratic equations when you enter the video, such as finding the vertex. :) Thanks so much for asking!!

Mr. Robinson, a doorway has a parabolic arch. The base of the doorway is 3m wide. At a point 1.0m from one side of the doorway, it is 3m high. How do you determine an equation to represent this function?
@MrRobinsonsMathChannel
@MrRobinsonsMathChannel 5 ай бұрын
Assuming we're placing one side of the doorway's base at (0, 0), that means we can place the other side at (3, 0). A third point we also will have is (1, 3). These are three (x, y) values that we can use to make an equation using the form y = ax^2 + bx + c. Your goal will be to find the a, b, and c that satisfy an equation in that form. Generally in the case of not knowing what your vertex is (even though we know the x value would be 1.5 since it's halfway between 0 and 3, we don't know what the y value will be), you would set up a system of three equations using your three (x, y) values in separate equations. In this case, using y = ax^2 + bx + c, your system would look like this: (0, 0) --> 0 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c (3, 0) --> 0 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + c (1, 3) --> 3 = a(1)^2 + b(1) + c If I clean up each equation and put the y values on the right side, they'd look like this: c = 0 9a + 3b + c = 0 a + b + c = 3 Solving this system helps a lot because you get a true value for c as 0, meaning you can substitute that in the bottom two equations and get a system of two: 9a + 3b = 0 a + b = 3 You have a lot of options on what to do here, once of them being using the elimination method by rewriting an equation so that it cancels out one of your variables. If we divide the top equation by -3, we get: -3a - b = 0 a + b = 3 And adding these two equations, the b's eliminated and we get: -2a = 3 a = -3/2 = -1.5 Now we have the value for 'a'. Let's substitute that value into the equation a + b = 3 and solve for b: -1.5 + b = 3 b = 4.5 Okay, so a = -1.5, b = 4.5, and c = 0. So for our general quadratic equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, our final answer will be: y = -1.5x^2 + 4.5x I hope that helps! :)

Hi there, it depends on how you're entering this as a whole. If you don't know the background behind factoring, quadratic formula, completing the square, vertexes, etc. then it can definitely be a daunting task. The purpose of this video was less on teaching how to do THOSE specific things (though I have videos on them if you want to hear more), but rather how to interpret the word problems as a whole. If you're still having trouble on the latter portion, I'm sorry that my video wasn't enough help on clarifying those portions.

Hmm, do you mean like area/volume kinds of questions? A couple of my recent videos had some problems out of the textbook for sure. I'll have to search far and wide for them, but anything from Chapters 2-4 where they have word problems on Modeling Mathematics may have something you're looking for!

Why we square the time, I know its quadratic function and t has to be square but why we multiply t by itself?

Where are you referring to this in particular? If you mean with regard to the functions, yes time is being squared, but it is a model representing HEIGHT as a function of time. So the question as to why "time is squared" is answered by the fact that the height of the object is dependent on it. Why does it depend on it? Gravity. Gravity is a force based upon acceleration, which means it expressed not how much an object changes position over time, but how much it changes velocity over time. Its units are not feet per second (ft/sec), but rather feet per second per second (ft/sec^2). This is what creates the parabolic arc of height (once again, due to gravity), and that occurs in the form of a quadratic model.

Fair enough. I can speed run through these questions as well (I can finish this whole assignment in under ten minutes), but the point of *my* videos personally are to teach the material itself to cater to the lowest common denominator (those learning it for the first time). I can excuse that by saying that one who is watching can still speed up the video, scrub through it, fast-forward it, or skip it entirely. There are other KZbin videos out there that have expedited versions, and mine tend to not be those. I do have videos like that here and there though, and you'll find them; of course, whenever I do make these, I'll have several students that say I go too fast and don't explain a step that they wanted. In other words, I'm not doing the problems to teach the material (this is not what teachers SHOULD do with examples either). Instead, I am using the material to support what it is that I'm teaching. That way, when a student attacks a problem with some variations to it, they aren't completely dumbfounded because "it's not exactly like the last one but with different numbers." They have the luxury of opportunistically seeing more angles to it and they have a more general feel of what's happening. This is a conversational piece to give students an inner dialogue, particularly my students. I'm sure you know the Abraham Lincoln quote (which always changes the time around), saying something like: "If I had an hour to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first 45 minutes sharpening my axe." This video is mostly axe-sharpening, and then I chop away when I'm ready to go. By the way, I'm not saying you're wrong on how I approach these. I'm just saying that this is an intentional stylistic approach that I choose to use. I agree, we don't have 15 minutes to spend on a problem. Thankfully, these problems aren't your test. If you're interested in sending me a PDF of a word problem sheet that you have, I'll happily make a 15-20 minute version of a similar thing in contrast to this one though! :)

why is #5 2.25 and not 6.75 ft?
@MrRobinsonsMathChannel
@MrRobinsonsMathChannel Жыл бұрын
Hmm, well I guess the bigger question is why would it be 6.75 feet? I showed where I calculated 2.25 feet from. I don't know how else I can explain "why it is what I calculated" outside of what I showed on the screen. I don't know where 6.75 feet comes from, or rather how a human jumps that high in the air to begin with haha. Did you do 9/4 + 9/2? I believe the 9/4 is negative when you multiply -16 by the squared value. Maybe that's where you got 6.75 from.
