How do you convert from standard form to vertex form?

To convert from standard form $$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$$ to vertex form, complete the square: factor out $$a$$ from the first two terms, then adjust the constant term accordingly.

What is the significance of the leading coefficient in a quadratic function?

The leading coefficient $$a$$ in the quadratic function $$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$$ determines the direction of the parabola: if $$a > 0$$ , the parabola opens upwards; if $$a

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

For a quadratic equation $$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$ , the sum of the roots is given by $$-\frac{b}{a}$$ and the product of the roots is given by $$\frac{c}{a}$$ .

How do you find the y-intercept of a quadratic function?

The y-intercept of a quadratic function $$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$$ is found by evaluating $$f(0) = c$$ .

What is the effect of changing the value of $$b$$ in a quadratic function?

Changing the value of $$b$$ in the quadratic function $$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$$ affects the position of the vertex and the axis of symmetry, but does not change the shape of the parabola.

What is the effect of changing the value of $$c$$ in a quadratic function?

Changing the value of $$c$$ in the quadratic function $$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$$ shifts the graph vertically up or down without affecting the shape or the x-coordinates of the vertex.

What is the maximum or minimum value of a quadratic function?

The maximum or minimum value of a quadratic function $$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$$ occurs at the vertex. If $$a > 0$$ , the vertex represents a minimum; if $$a

How can you determine if a quadratic function is a parabola that opens upwards or downwards?

You can determine the direction of a parabola by looking at the leading coefficient $$a$$ in the quadratic function $$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$$ : if $$a > 0$$ , it opens upwards; if $$a
