How can we use our ideas about transforming parabolas to transform into other functions

Quadratic equations are actually used in everyday life, as when calculating areas, determining a product's profit, or formulating the speed of an object. Quadratic equations refer to equations with at least one squared variable, with the most standard form being ax² + bx + c = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a speed-time graph, the speed data is on the Y-axis and the time is represented on the X-axis.

A slope is the variation of Y-values over the variation of the X-values between to points.

So, the slope of a speed-time graph would be the variation of the speed over the variation of time.

Let's say your units are m/s for the speed and s for the time.

The slope units would then be calculated by dividing m/s by s... (m/s) / s

That would give you m/s², which is an acceleration unit.
