FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

Back

The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠ 0.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the 'a' value in a quadratic equation indicate?

Back

The 'a' value determines the direction of the parabola. If 'a' is positive, the parabola opens upwards; if 'a' is negative, it opens downwards.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the vertex of a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex can be found using the formula x = -b/(2a) to find the x-coordinate, and then substituting that value back into the equation to find the y-coordinate.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a quadratic function?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis, which occurs when x = 0. It is represented by the value of c in the standard form.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you determine the maximum or minimum value of a quadratic function?

Back

The maximum or minimum value occurs at the vertex of the parabola. If 'a' is negative, the vertex is a maximum; if 'a' is positive, it is a minimum.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the discriminant of a quadratic equation tell us?

Back

The discriminant (b² - 4ac) indicates the nature of the roots: if positive, there are two real roots; if zero, one real root; if negative, no real roots.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the height of a projectile at a given time using a quadratic equation?

Back

Substitute the time value into the height equation h(t) = -16t² + bt + c to calculate the height.
