What is the discriminant of a quadratic equation?

The discriminant of a quadratic equation $$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$ is given by $$D = b^2 - 4ac$$ . It determines the nature of the roots.

What does a positive discriminant indicate?

A positive discriminant indicates that the quadratic equation has two distinct real roots.

What does a zero discriminant indicate?

A zero discriminant indicates that the quadratic equation has exactly one real root (a repeated root).

What does a negative discriminant indicate?

A negative discriminant indicates that the quadratic equation has no real roots (the roots are complex).

How can you determine if a quadratic function is increasing or decreasing?

A quadratic function is increasing on the interval to the right of the vertex and decreasing on the interval to the left of the vertex.

What is the vertex form of a quadratic function?

The vertex form of a quadratic function is $$f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k$$ , where $$(h, k)$$ is the vertex of the parabola.

What is the effect of the coefficient $$a$$ in the quadratic function $$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$$ ?

The coefficient $$a$$ determines the direction of the parabola (upward if $$a > 0$$ , downward if $$a
