FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a perfect square trinomial?

Back

A perfect square trinomial is a quadratic expression that can be expressed as the square of a binomial. It takes the form: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b².

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the value of c that makes x² - 14x + c a perfect square trinomial?

Back

To find c, use the formula c = (b/2)², where b is the coefficient of x. Here, b = -14, so c = (-14/2)² = 49.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the vertex of a quadratic function in the form y = ax² + bx + c?

Back

The vertex can be found using the formula: x = -b/(2a). For y = 4x² + 24x + 5, the vertex is at (-3, -31).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you simplify the square root of a number, such as \sqrt{200}?

Back

To simplify \sqrt{200}, factor it into its prime factors: \sqrt{200} = \sqrt{100 \cdot 2} = \sqrt{100} \cdot \sqrt{2} = 10\sqrt{2}.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the factored form of the expression x² - 4x + 4?

Back

The expression can be factored as (x - 2)².

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between the coefficients of a quadratic equation and its vertex?

Back

The vertex (h, k) of a quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c can be found using h = -b/(2a) and k = f(h).
