Characteristics of Quadratic Functions

Front

What are the solutions of a quadratic function?

Back

Solutions (or roots) are the x-values where the graph intersects the x-axis, also known as zeros or x-intercepts.

How do you determine the range of a quadratic function?

Back

The range is determined by the vertex of the parabola. If the parabola opens upwards, the range is all values greater than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex.

Solve for the values of x: (x - 3)(x + 6) = 0

Back

The solutions are x = 3 and x = -6.
