Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
quadratic   Algebra. involving the square and no higher power of the unknown quantity; of the second degree.  
🗑
Discriminant   b² - 4ac  
🗑
Parabola   the graph of a quadratic function is u-shaped  
🗑
vertex   the highest or lowest point on the parabola  
🗑
axis of symmetry   the vertical line through the vertex  
🗑
factoring   finding an equivalent expression to an expression that is a product of expressions  
🗑
greatest common factor   the product of scaler factoring  
🗑
prime solution   solution is not factorable  
🗑
primary and secondary root   primary = positive root from solution of radical secondary = negative root from solution of radical  
🗑
imaginary unit   i  
🗑
square root property   take square root of both sides of equation after squared variable is isolated  
🗑
4 methods to solve quadratic equations   1) table of values 2) factoring 3) completing the square 4) quadratic formula  
🗑
Quadratic Function   A function of the form y = ax 2 + bx + c , where a≠ 0 , and a , b , and c are real numbers.  
🗑
Standard Form   a, b and c are known values. a can't be 0.  
🗑
complex solutions   When the Discriminant (the value b2 - 4ac) is negative we get Complex solutions ... what does that mean?  
🗑
Plus/Minus   ±  
🗑
zeros   They are also called "roots", or sometimes???  
🗑
Quadratic Formula   x = [ -b ± √(b2-4ac) ] / 2a  
🗑
Completing the Square   is a technique used to solve quadratic equations, graph quadratic functions, and evaluate integrals. This technique can be used when factoring a quadratic equation does not work or to find irrational and complex roots.  
🗑
square root property   is one method that is used to find the solutions to a quadratic (second degree) equation. This method involves taking the square roots of both sides of the equation. .  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
