key features of quadratics

Front

Define X-intercept

Back

Where the parabola touches or intersects the x-axis.

Front

What is the vertex of a quadratic graph?

Back

The highest or lowest point on the graph.

Front

Which of the following equations matches the standard form of a quadratic? y = ax^2 + bx + c, y = mx + b, ax + by = c, y = a(x - h)^2 + k

Back

y = ax^2 + bx + c.

Front

Define Axis Of Symmetry

Back

A line that divides the graph into two equal parts, cutting the graph in half.

Front

True or False: The vertex of the given quadratic function is at its minimum.

Back

False.

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

Back

y = ax^2 + bx + c.

Front

What does the coefficient 'a' in a quadratic equation determine?

Back

The direction of the parabola (upward if a > 0, downward if a < 0).

Front

What is the significance of the vertex in a quadratic function?

Back

It represents the maximum or minimum value of the function.

Front

How do you find the axis of symmetry for a quadratic function?

Back

x = -b/(2a) from the standard form y = ax^2 + bx + c.

Front

What are the roots of a quadratic equation?

Back

The values of x where the quadratic intersects the x-axis.
