quadratics Flashcards
What is the vertex form of a quadratic?
f(x)=a(x-h)2+k
What is the standard form of a quadratic?
f(x)=ax2+bx+c
What is the factored form of the quadratic?
f(x)=a(x-p)(x-q)
What do h and k stand for in the vertex form?
(h,k) is the vertex
What do p and q stand for in the factored form of a quadratic?
x intercepts
What are the x intercepts from f(x)=2(x-3)(x+4)
(3,0) (-4,0)
What are the x intercepts from f(x)=(2x-3)(x-1)
(1,0) (3/2,0)
What are the x intercepts from f(x)=2x(x-7)
(0,0) (7,0)
What are the x intercepts from f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)
(-1,0) (2,0)
What does c stand for in standard form?
y intercept
What does a tell you in quadratic equations?
if it opens up or down, if it skinny or fat
If a is negative, will the graph open up or down?
down
If a is positive, will the graph open up or down?
up
Give the a, b, c values of the following f(x)=2x2-3x+4

What is the first thing to look for when factoring
greatest common factor
When a>1 how do we start to factor?
multiply a and c
To factor when a=1, do the numbers multiply to b or c?
c
To factor when a=1, do the numbers add to b or c?
