Front

What is the graph of a quadratic function called?

Back

Parabola

Front

What is the maximum height of a rocket launched from the ground if the graph shows a maximum height of 34.063?

Back

34.063

Front

What is the green dashed line in a quadratic function graph called?

Back

Axis of Symmetry

Front

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry for the quadratic function graphed if it is x = 1?

Back

x = 1

Front

Does the equation f(x) = -3x² + 2x + 5 have a maximum or minimum?

Back

Maximum

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic function?

Back

f(x) = ax² + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

Front

What does the coefficient 'a' in a quadratic function determine?

Back

The direction of the parabola (upward if a > 0, downward if a < 0).

Front

What are the x-intercepts of a quadratic function?

Back

The points where the graph intersects the x-axis.

Front

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

Back

The vertex can be found using the formula x = -b/(2a).

Front

What is the axis of symmetry in a quadratic function?

Back

A vertical line that divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves.
