Algebra: Concepts and Connections EOC Review 3

Front

What is the equation used to find the zeros of a quadratic function?

Back

Front

What does it mean for a graph to be 'stretched vertically'?

Back

A vertical stretch occurs when the coefficient of the function is greater than 1, making the graph taller and narrower.

Front

How do you determine the effect of transformations on a quadratic function?

Back

Transformations can be determined by analyzing changes in the function's equation, such as shifts (horizontal and vertical) and stretches/compressions.

Front

What is a line of best fit?

Back

A line of best fit is a straight line that best represents the data on a scatter plot, showing the trend of the data points.

Front

What is the general form of a quadratic equation?

Back

Front

What does it mean for a function to be decreasing?

Back

A function is decreasing if, as the input values increase, the output values decrease.

Front

How do you find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane?

Back

Front

What is the vertex of a parabola?

Back

The vertex of a parabola is the highest or lowest point on the graph, depending on whether it opens upwards or downwards.

Front

What is the significance of the discriminant in a quadratic equation?

Back

Front

What does it mean for a function to be 'compressed vertically'?

Back

A vertical compression occurs when the coefficient of the function is between 0 and 1, making the graph shorter and wider.
