Quadratics (& Most of Wave Function By Accident) Flashcards
1
Q
Completing the square method
A
- expand given form
- compare coefficients
- create equations and solve for form
- sub known values into equation
2
Q
A
2 (x + 1)^2 - 9
3
Q
A
9 - (x - 2)^2
4
Q
quadratic
A
expression where the highest power of x is 2
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
5
Q
graph of parabola
A
parabola
if coefficient of x^2 is positive, the graph is a smiley face
if coefficient of x^2 is negative, the graph is a sad face
6
Q
features of parabola
A
- crosses the x axis at its roots
- all parabolas have an axis of symmetry
7
Q
method for sketching parabola
A
- decide if graph is happy or sad
- find where it crosses the y axis (when x = 0)
- find where it crosses the x a is (when y = 0)
- average the two roots to find the axis of symmetry
- use the axis of symmetry to find max/min TP
