Front

What is a quadratic equation?

Back

An equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠ 0.

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic function?

Back

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

Front

What is the axis of symmetry in a quadratic function?

Back

The vertical line x = -b/(2a) that divides the parabola into two mirror images.

Front

What is the formula for finding the vertex of a parabola?

Back

Vertex (h, k) where h = -b/(2a) and k = f(h).

Front

What does the discriminant tell us about a quadratic equation?

Back

The discriminant (D = b² - 4ac) indicates the nature of the roots: D > 0 (two real roots), D = 0 (one real root), D < 0 (no real roots).
