Back

15x + 10

Front

What is the axis of symmetry for the function y = ax^2 + bx + c?

Back

x = -b/(2a)

Front

What is the leading coefficient in a polynomial?

Back

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree.

Front

What is the end behavior of a polynomial function?

Back

It describes how the function behaves as x approaches +∞ or -∞.

Front

Write the expression 16^(1/2) as a radical expression.

Back

√16 = 4

Front

What is the vertex of a parabola in standard form y = a(x - h)^2 + k?

Back

The vertex is the point (h, k).

Front

How do you find the x-intercepts of a quadratic function?

Back

Set y = 0 and solve the equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

Front

What is the quadratic formula?

Back

x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a) for ax² + bx + c = 0.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be increasing?

Back

A function is increasing if, as x increases, f(x) also increases.

Front

What is the difference between a linear function and a quadratic function?

Back

A linear function has a degree of 1, while a quadratic function has a degree of 2.
