What is the formula for finding the y-intercept of a quadratic function?

Back

To find the y-intercept of a quadratic function in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c, substitute x = 0. The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

How do you determine the type of function from its graph?

Back

To determine the type of function from its graph, observe the shape: linear functions form straight lines, quadratic functions form parabolas, absolute value functions have a V shape, and constant functions are horizontal lines.

What is the quadratic formula?

Back

The quadratic formula is used to find the roots of a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 and is given by x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a).
