Function Notation & Zeros of Functions

Front

What is function notation?

Back

Function notation is a way to represent a function using symbols, typically written as f(x), where 'f' is the name of the function and 'x' is the input variable.

What does it mean for a function to have zeros?

Back

Zeros of a function are the values of x for which the function's output is zero, meaning f(x) = 0.

What is a quadratic function?

Back

A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2, typically written in the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c.

Front

How do you calculate the zeros of a quadratic function?

Back

To calculate the zeros of a quadratic function, you can use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a).

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear function?

Back

The slope-intercept form of a linear function is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
