| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Quadratic Function | a function described by the equation, f(x)=ax^2+bx+c; where a doesn't equal 0 |
| Quadratic Term | ax^2 |
| Linear Term | bx |
| Constant Term | c |
| Parobla | the graph of a quadratic function, |
| Axis of Symmertry | a line about which the a figure is symmetry |
| Vertex | point at which the axis of symmetry intersects a parobla |
| Maximum Value | the y-coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic function; where a<0 |
| Minimum Value | the y-coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic function; where a>0 |
| Quadratic Equation | Quadratic functions that are set equal to a value;f(x)=ax^2+bx+c; where a doesn't equal 0 |
| Standard Form | f(x)=ax^2+bx+c; where a doesn't equal 0 and a,b,c are intergers |
| Root | solutions of a quadratic equation |
| Zero | 1 method for finding the roots of quadratic equation is to find -x-intercepts of its graph |
| Foil Method | uses the distributive property to multiply binomials; the form of a polynomial showing all of its factors |
| Imaginary Unit | i, or the principal square root of -1 |
| Complete the Square | A process used to make a quadratic expression into a perfect square trinomal |
| Quadratic Formula | the solutions of a quadratic equation of the formula ax^2+bx+c=0 are given the quadratic formula |
| Discriminant | b^2-4ac |
| Factoring Form | the form of a polynomial showing all of its factors |
| Sqaure Root Property | Is one that is used to find the solutions to a Quadratic; method involves taking the square roots of both sides of the Equation |
