Graphing Quadratics - Standard Form

Front

What is the axis of symmetry in a quadratic graph?

Back

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex of the parabola, dividing it into two mirror-image halves.

Front

Where does the axis of symmetry line pass through?

Back

The vertex.

Front

What is the vertex of a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex is the highest or lowest point on the graph of a quadratic function, depending on the direction of the parabola.

Front

Find the Vertex: y= -5x² -20x - 26

Back

(-2, -6)

Front

What do we call the graph of a quadratic function?

Back

Parabola.

Front

What is the shape of a parabola that opens downwards?

Back

It has a maximum point at the vertex.

Front

What is the green dot on the parabola called when it is the highest point?

Back

Maximum.

Front

What are the x-intercepts of a quadratic function also known as?

Back

Roots or zeros.

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

Back

y = ax² + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

Front

How can you determine if a quadratic opens upwards or downwards?

Back

If the coefficient 'a' is positive, it opens upwards; if 'a' is negative, it opens downwards.
