Front

Define a quadratic function.

Back

A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2, typically in the form f(x) = ax² + bx + c.

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

Back

The standard form is y = ax² + bx + c.

Front

What does the discriminant of a quadratic equation tell us?

Back

The discriminant (D = b² - 4ac) indicates the nature of the roots: D > 0 means two real roots, D = 0 means one real root, and D < 0 means no real roots.

Front

How do you find the vertex of a quadratic function in standard form?

Back

The vertex can be found using the formula x = -b/(2a) and then substituting x back into the function to find y.
