A

to the left of the max/min

41
Q

Where do you put the cursor when the bottom of teh screen says right bound?

A

to the right of the max/min

42
Q

What are the 5 key points needed to graph a quadratic?

A

y intercept, mirror of y intercept, vertex, 2 x intercept (if any)

43
Q

Points mirror across what in a quadratic function?

A

axis of symmetry

44
Q

if you are mirroring the y intercept, what will the value of the mirrored point be?

A

the same as the y intercept

45
Q

How do you find the x value of a mirrored point

A

The mirrored point is the same distance from the axis of symmetry as the original point

51
Q

If the discriminant is<0 what will the graph look like?

A

The parabola will not cross the x axis

52
Q

If the discriminant =0 what will the graph look like?

A

The parabola will touch the x axis, but not cross the x axis

53
