About this worksheet

Quadratic inequalities: graph and solve. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find the zero rows and say where a quadratic is above or below 0.
  • I can solve a quadratic inequality and write the answer like -2 < x < 4 or x < 1 or x > 6.
  • I can say how long a ball or rocket stays above a height.

Standard: A-REI.B.4, A-CED.A.1

Words to know

zero rows: The inputs where the output is 0; the boundary of the answer.

between: The part of the number line from one zero to the other.

outside: The two parts beyond the zeros, joined by "or".

touch point: The one zero of a perfect square, where the graph just touches.

Common mistakes

Your child found the right zeros but shaded the wrong side of them.

Your child picked a zero of the product, where it equals 0.

Your child took the signs in the brackets as the zeros.

What to say

Ask: is the parabola above or below the axis between its zeros?

Ask: is 0 less than 0?

Ask: what value of x makes (x + 2) equal 0?
