Quadratics Review Game

Front

Does the equation open up or down? Y = -3x² + 7x - 2

Back

The equation opens down because the coefficient of x² is negative.

Front

A parabola is upside-down when 'a' is:

Back

A parabola is upside-down when 'a' is negative.

Front

How many solutions does this graph have?

Back

The graph has one solution.

Front

What are the x-intercepts of the equation?

Back

The x-intercepts are x = 0 and x = 4.

Front

What does the standard form of a quadratic equation look like?

Back

The standard form of a quadratic equation is y = ax² + bx + c.

Front

What is the vertex form of a quadratic equation?

Back

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is y = a(x-h)² + k.

Front

What is the factored form of a quadratic equation?

Back

The factored form of a quadratic equation is y = a(x-p)(x-q).

Front

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

Back

The 'a' value determines the direction of the parabola (up or down) and its width.

Front

What is the axis of symmetry in a parabola?

Back

The axis of symmetry is the vertical line that divides the parabola into two mirror images, given by x = -b/(2a).

Front

What is the significance of the discriminant in a quadratic equation?

Back

The discriminant (b² - 4ac) determines the number of solutions: positive means two solutions, zero means one solution, and negative means no real solutions.
