I.C.#13 Math 2 Final Review #1

Front

What is an x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where a graph crosses the x-axis, meaning the value of y is zero.

Front

How do you find the x-intercept(s) of a quadratic function?

Back

Set the function equal to zero and solve for x.

Front

What is a vertex in a graph?

Back

The vertex is the highest or lowest point on a parabola, depending on its orientation.

Front

What does it mean if a graph has a minimum value?

Back

A minimum value indicates the lowest point on the graph, where the function value is at its smallest.

Front

What is a y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a graph crosses the y-axis, meaning the value of x is zero.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a function?

Back

Substitute x = 0 into the function and solve for y.

Front

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

Back

The vertex indicates the maximum or minimum value of the function and the axis of symmetry.

Front

What does it mean for a graph to have a maximum value?

Back

A maximum value indicates the highest point on the graph, where the function value is at its largest.

Front

How can you determine the solutions of a quadratic equation from its graph?

Back

The solutions are the x-coordinates of the points where the graph intersects the x-axis.

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic function?

Back

The standard form is f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.
