Porabolas Flashcards
Solve x(x-1)=0
x=0 or 1
What is critical value?
What x must equal for the equation to be equal to 2. Also the x points on a parabola
What are some things about what is graphed from y=x(2)
Its a minimum(happy) parabola
Difference between y=x(2) and y=x(2)+2?
The second has moved up 2
What are some things about what is graphed from y=-x(2)
It a maximum(sad) parabola
Difference between y=x(2) and y=(x-2)(2)
It moves to the right 2
Difference between y=x(2) and y=2x(2)
It gets skinnier
Difference between y=x(2) and y=1/2x(2)
It gets fatter
How do you find the turning point?
Use the axis of symmetry formula and sub that in as the x value to the original equation
Basic formula for a circle
x(2)+y(2)=r(2)
How big is the radius of x(2)+y(2)=9?
- The square root of 9
Difference between x(2)+y(2)=4 and (x-2)(2)+(y-3)(2)=4?
The centre of the circle moves to (2,3) but the radius stays the same, from that point
What is the square method?
x=-b+-square root(b(2)-4ac
All over 2a
What is the axis of symmetry formula?
-b/2a
2x(2)-3x-5 cuts the y intercept where?
-5 (it is also skinny)
