PRODUCT SUMMARY
Whether it's football, fireworks or finding the zeroes, it is important to know how to recognize quadratic functions by their parabolas and squared terms. Join our hosts on an in-depth exploration of this topic as they compare quadratic and linear functions, discover the characteristics of parabolas and explore different strategies for finding the roots of functions. You'll be sure to encounter the quadratic formula -- a guaranteed way to find the roots of a function. Within the context of real-world scenarios and with the support of animated graphs and tables, see how algebra comes to life in this engaging and carefully paced video program. Part of the multivolume Algebra for Students DVD Series. A teacher's guide is included and available online.

"Beginning algebra students are often overwhelmed by the number of new concepts that must be grasped in order to understand this complex branch of mathematics. Algebra for Students is a 10-volume series that attempts to illustrate how algebra works by translating symbols, vocabulary, and algebraic expressions into easy-to-understand real-life scenarios. In Analyzing Inequalities, two engaging hosts use the hypothetical situation of buying concert tickets (with those annoying service charges) to generate algebra problems related to inequalities (“more than,” “less than,” “in between,” etc.). Each equation or graph is explained in detail with clear illustrations and animated graphics, while common mistakes are also covered. Other titles in the series include: Exponential Functions, Functions & Relations, Linear Equations & Slope, Patterns & Formulas, Polynomials, The Pythagorean Theorem & Right Triangles, Quadratic Functions, Systems of Linear Equations, and Variables, Expressions & Equations. Highly recommended.
