FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a quadratic function?

Back

A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2, typically in the form y = ax² + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the 'a' term in a quadratic function indicate?

Back

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

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the vertex of a parabola given in standard form?

Back

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

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the axis of symmetry in a quadratic function?

Back

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves, given by the equation x = -b/(2a).

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the 'h' term in vertex form indicate?

Back

The 'h' term indicates the horizontal shift of the parabola; it moves the graph left or right, and is the x-coordinate of the vertex.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the vertex form of a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex form of a quadratic function is y = a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you convert from standard form to vertex form?

Back

To convert from standard form (y = ax² + bx + c) to vertex form, complete the square.
