CONCEPTS:
A quadratic function is one of the form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are numbers with a not equal to zero.
The graph of a quadratic function is a curve called a parabola. Parabolas may open upward or downward and vary in
"width" or "steepness", but they all have the same basic "U" shape. The picture below shows three graphs, and they are
all parabolas.
All parabolas are symmetric with respect to a line called the axis of symmetry. A parabola intersects its axis of symmetry
at a point called the vertex of the parabola.
Many quadratic functions can be graphed easily by hand using the techniques of stretching/shrinking and shifting the
parabola y = x2 .
A table and a graph can both be used to represent quadratic function. The graph and table below show points for the
quadratic function
The solutions to quadratic equations are called roots. Roots are the x-intercepts (zeros ) of a quadratic function.
For every quadratic equation, there is a related quadratic function. For example, if you are given the quadratic equation
