When you multiply a quadratic function by a number what happens?
you cant. the quadratic function must be expressed as a number. Radicals and numbers dont mix
What function is used to determine highest number in a range?
The "maximum" function.
What is the maximum number of points of intersection when two circles and five strait lines intersect ecah other?
32
What is the difference between quadratic formula and quadratic equation?
There are an infinite number of different quadratic equations. The quadratic formula is a single formula that can be used to find the pair of solutions to every quadratic equation.
Is this statement true or falseIf two lines intersect, they intersect in an infinite number of points.?
false
What is the maximum number of times the graph of the quadratic function can cross the x-axis?
Two.

Why does the discriminant determine the number and type of the solutions for a quadratic equation?
A quadratic equation is wholly defined by its coefficients. The solutions or roots of the quadratic can, therefore, be determined by a function of these coefficients - and this function called the quadratic formula. Within this function, there is one part that specifically determines the number and types of solutions it is therefore called the discriminant: it discriminates between the different types of solutions.
In general how many distinct solutions are there to a quadratic equation?
the maximum number of solutions to a quadratic equation is 2. However, usually there is only 1.
What function is used to determine highest number in a range?
The "maximum" function.
What is the determinant of a quadratic function?
It is the equation inside the square root of the Quadratic FormulaIf > 0 there is a solutionIf < 0 there is no solutionBecause you can not calculate the Square Root of a Negative Number
What is the maximum number of points of intersection when two circles and five strait lines intersect ecah other?
32
What is the maximum number of times 2 planes can intersect?
In three-dimensional space, two planes can either:* not intersect at all, * intersect in a line, * or they can be the same plane; in this case, the intersection is an entire plane.
In the case of a quadratic function what is the number of x and y intercepts the function may have?
The greatest possible number of intercepts is: 2 of one axis and 1 of the other axis.The smallest possible number of intercepts is: One of each axis.
What variable in a quadratic function causes the function to transform reflect or have a vertical stretch or shrink?
The wording is confusing, as a quadratic function is normally a function of one variable. If you mean the graph of y = f(x) where f is a quadratic function, then changes to the variable y will do some of those things. The transformation y --> -y will reflect the graph about the x-axis. The transformation y --> Ay (where A is real number) will cause the graph to stretch or shrink vertically. The transformation y --> y+A will translate it up or down.
Does a constant function intersect the x axis?
Only if y = 0 then it is the entire x-axis. Otherwise, for y = k and k is any number except zero, the graph is parallel to the x-axis and does not intersect.
What function compare the numbers in the specified range and then return with the largest number?
Maximum.
