Front

What is the vertex of a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex is the highest or lowest point on the graph of the quadratic.

Front

How can you determine the number of real solutions from the discriminant?

Back

If the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) is positive, there are 2 real solutions; if zero, 1 real solution; if negative, no real solutions.
