A quadratic function f is a function in the form of:
f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
A quadratic function requires
a, b and c are _____ numbers and a is not equal to ____.
real numbers
zero
The graph of the quadratic function is called a _________.
parabola
A parabola is _____ shaped curve that may open up or down depending on the sign of the ______________ __.
U
coefficient a
Three pieces information needed about a parabola:
vertex
x-intercepts (there may be 0, 1, or 2 x-intercepts)
y-intercept (there is always one)
Direction of parabola is determined by
a = positive = up
a = negative = down
The highest exponent in a quadratic function is
2
In f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, the letters a, b, and c are called:
