What does the vertex of a parabola represent in a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex of a parabola represents the maximum or minimum point of the quadratic function, depending on the direction of the parabola (opening upwards or downwards).

Front

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

Back

The coefficient 'a' determines the direction of the parabola (upward if a > 0, downward if a < 0) and affects the width of the parabola.

How can you determine the time it takes for a projectile to hit the ground using a quadratic function?

Back

Set the height function equal to zero and solve for time (t). The solutions will give the time(s) when the projectile is at ground level.

Front

How do you model a real-world situation using a quadratic function?

Back

Identify the variables involved, determine the relationship between them, and formulate a quadratic equation based on the context (e.g., height vs. time for a projectile).
