Takeaways

• 😀 Quadratic functions are equations with the highest power of 2, like ax² + bx + c = 0.
• 😀 The general form of a quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + bx + c.
• 😀 A quadratic equation relates to a quadratic function, but with the function specifically representing values of x and y.
• 😀 Graphing a quadratic function involves finding specific points by substituting values for x and calculating corresponding y values.
• 😀 When graphing a quadratic function like f(x) = x² - 2x - 3, you plot the points you calculate (e.g., x = 0, x = 1) and draw the curve.
• 😀 A quadratic function’s graph is symmetric, meaning it has a line of symmetry through the vertex.
• 😀 For a graph of the form y = ax², if a > 0, the parabola opens upwards, and if a < 0, it opens downwards.
• 😀 If the quadratic function includes a constant term (like +c), it shifts the graph vertically. For example, y = x² + 2 moves the graph up by 2 units.
• 😀 The vertex of a parabola represents the highest or lowest point on the graph, and its x-coordinate can be found using the formula x = -b / (2a).
• 😀 To find the y-intercept of a quadratic function, set x = 0 and solve for y, which equals the constant term c in the equation.
• 😀 The discriminant (D = b² - 4ac) helps determine the number of x-intercepts (roots) a quadratic function has. If D > 0, there are two roots; if D = 0, there is one root; if D < 0, there are no real roots.

Q & A

What is the definition of a quadratic function?

A quadratic function is a mathematical function where the highest power of the variable is 2. It is represented by the general form f(x) = ax² + bx + c.

How does a quadratic equation differ from a quadratic function?

A quadratic equation is of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, whereas a quadratic function is written as f(x) = ax² + bx + c, and includes the function notation.

How can you graph a quadratic function?

To graph a quadratic function, you can substitute different values for x, calculate the corresponding y values, plot the points on a coordinate plane, and then draw a curve through the points.

What happens to the graph of a quadratic function when x = 0?

When x = 0, the quadratic function simplifies to y = c, which is the y-intercept of the graph. The value of y is simply the constant term in the equation.

What is the significance of the coefficient 'a' in the quadratic function?

The coefficient 'a' determines the direction of the parabola. If 'a' is positive, the parabola opens upwards. If 'a' is negative, the parabola opens downwards.

How do you find the vertex of a parabola?

The vertex of a parabola can be found using the formula for the x-coordinate: x = -b / 2a. Once you have x, substitute it into the function to find the y-coordinate of the vertex.

What does the term 'discriminant' refer to in a quadratic equation?

The discriminant is the part of the quadratic formula, given by D = b² - 4ac. It helps determine the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation. If D > 0, there are two real roots; if D = 0, there is one real root; if D < 0, there are no real roots.

What does it mean if the discriminant is positive, zero, or negative?

If the discriminant is positive, the quadratic equation has two real roots. If it's zero, the equation has one real root, and if it's negative, the equation has no real roots, meaning the parabola does not intersect the x-axis.

How does the graph of a quadratic function change if there is a constant added to the equation?

When a constant 'c' is added to the quadratic function (e.g., y = ax² + bx + c), it shifts the graph vertically. If 'c' is positive, the graph shifts upwards; if 'c' is negative, it shifts downwards.

What is the role of symmetry in the graph of a quadratic function?

The graph of a quadratic function is symmetric about a vertical line called the axis of symmetry. This line passes through the vertex and divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves.
