unit 2) topic- quadratics Flashcards
whats standard form
y=ax²+bx+c
whats the vertex
its the highest / lowest point in the middle of the parabola
what is always the axis of symmetry always
its always the x value of vertex
when a is neg what way does parabola open when a is pos what way does it open
a is neg it opens down
a is pos it opens up
whats vertex form
y=a(x-h)²+k
what does h value in vertex form for mean
x-coordinate on the vertex
what does the k value for vertex form mean
y-coordinate on the vertex
how do you write quadratic equation in vertex form
1- find 2 points 1 being the vertex
2- put into equation then add inside the bracket then square it
3- solve algebreicly then rewrite equation with a value included
what do you do when trying to swap factored form/vertex to standard form
1- foil bracket
2- distribuite coeff to bracket
3- add like terms
when a question asks to write a quadratic equation in other words whats it asking
its asking to solve for a then rewrite formula incuding a
how to find x-int on calculator
2nd trace zero then do the left side right side enter
how to find vertex on calculator
2nd trace enter max or minimum moe left right then enter
how to find y-int on calculator
2nd trace value press 0 then enter
whats another way to find the other value of the vertex without calculator
you can just sub the other value into the formula then solve algebraically
what does a question want you to find when it says “zeros” “root solutions”
it means x-int so factored form
