    This document provides an example of completing the square for non-monic quadratics in the form of y = ax^2 + bx + c. It shows working through completing the square for the equation y = 3x^2 + 6x + 1. It then lists 12 other non-monic quadratic equations and instructs the reader to use the technique of completing the square to sketch their graphs. Finally, it provides a brief statement about the importance of quadratic equations in modeling acceleration.

    Enrichment: Completing the square with non-monics


    15 This example shows how to complete the square with non-monic quadratics of the form
    y = ax2 + bx + c.

    y = 3x2 + 6x + 1 Key features:


    1 The turning point is (-1, -2).
    = 3  x2 + 2x + 
     3 y-intercept is (0, 1)
    1 x-intercepts
    = 3  x2 + 2x + 1 − 1 + 
     3 0 = 3(x + 1)2 – 2
     2 2
    = 3  ( x + 1)2 −  (x + 1)2 =
     3 3
    2
    = 3(x + 1)2 – 2 x=± −1
    3

    Use this technique to sketch the graphs of these non-monic quadratics.


    a y = 4x2 + 8x + 3 b y = 3x2 - 12x + 10 c y = 2x2 + 12x + 1
    d y = 2x + x - 3
    2 e y = 2x - 7x + 3
    2 f y = 4x2 - 8x + 20
    g y = 6x2 + 5x + 9 h y = 5x2 - 3x + 7 i y = 5x2 + 12x
    j y = 7x + 10x
    2 k y = -3x - 9x + 2
    2 l y = -4x2 + 10x - 1

    One of the most important applications of quadratic equations is in modelling


    acceleration, first formulated by Galileo in the early 1600s, and shown in action
    here in the present day.
