Front

What is the shape of the graph of a quadratic function called?

Back

Parabola

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

Back

y = ax² + bx + c

Front

How do you identify the vertex of a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex can be found using the vertex form or by completing the square.

Front

What is the vertex of the quadratic function represented by the point (3, -1)?

Back

(3, -1)

Front

What is the highest or lowest point of a quadratic function called?

Back

Vertex

Front

What is the vertex form of a quadratic equation?

Back

y = a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex.

Front

How can you convert from vertex form to standard form?

Back

Expand the vertex form equation to get y = ax² + bx + c.

Front

What does the 'a' in the standard form of a quadratic equation represent?

Back

The 'a' value determines the direction and width of the parabola.

Front

What is the axis of symmetry in a quadratic function?

Back

The vertical line that passes through the vertex, given by x = h in vertex form.

Front

How can you find the x-intercepts of a quadratic function?

Back

Set y = 0 and solve the quadratic equation for x.
