How do you identify a, b, and c in the quadratic equation $$2x^2 - 4x - 30 = 0$$ ?

In the equation $$2x^2 - 4x - 30 = 0$$ , the coefficients are: a = 2, b = -4, c = -30.

How do you simplify the discriminant $$b^2 - 4ac$$ for the equation $$y = -x^2 - 5x + 12$$ ?

For the equation $$y = -x^2 - 5x + 12$$ , we have a = -1, b = -5, c = 12. The discriminant is: $$(-5)^2 - 4(-1)(12) = 25 + 48 = 73$$ .

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

The vertex can be found using the formula $$x = -\frac{b}{2a}$$ to find the x-coordinate, and then substituting this value back into the function to find the y-coordinate.

What is the axis of symmetry in a quadratic function?

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves. It can be found using the formula $$x = -\frac{b}{2a}$$ .

What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

The standard form of a quadratic equation is $$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$ , where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠ 0.

How do you convert a quadratic equation from standard form to vertex form?

To convert from standard form $$y = ax^2 + bx + c$$ to vertex form $$y = a(x-h)^2 + k$$ , you can complete the square.

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

The sum of the roots (r1 + r2) is equal to $$-\frac{b}{a}$$ and the product of the roots (r1 * r2) is equal to $$\frac{c}{a}$$ .

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

The leading coefficient (a) determines the direction of the parabola: if a > 0, the parabola opens upwards; if a

How do you determine the number of real solutions for a quadratic equation?

You can determine the number of real solutions by evaluating the discriminant $$b^2 - 4ac$$ : if positive, two solutions; if zero, one solution; if negative, no real solutions.

What is the vertex form of a quadratic function?

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