What is a dilation in the context of quadratic functions?

Back

A dilation changes the size of the graph of a function. A vertical dilation occurs when the function is multiplied by a factor, affecting the steepness of the parabola.

What is the relationship between the roots of a quadratic function and its graph?

Back

The roots (or zeros) of a quadratic function are the x-values where the graph intersects the x-axis. They can be found using factoring, completing the square, or the quadratic formula.
