What name is given to the turning point also known as the maximum or minimum of the graph of a quadratic function?
vertex
What things are significant about the vertex of a quadratic function?
It is a turning point. It lies on the axis of symmetry.
What does solving the equation for a line tell us?
A line is represented by an equation. Each solution of the equation is a point on the line, and each point on the line is a solution to the equation. So the line is just the graph of the solution set of the equation.
What is the y-intercept of a linear equation?
The y-intercept of a linear equation is the point where the graph of the line represented by that equation crosses the y-axis.
What is the corner point of a graph of an absolute value equation?
It is sometimes the point where the value inside the absolute function is zero.
What name is given to the turning point also known as the maximum or minimum of the graph of a quadratic function?
vertex
How do you find the salient feature in a graph?
Depending on the graph, for a quadratic function the salient features are: X- intercept, Y-intercept and the turning point.
How do you get the points to graph a quadratic function?
The quadratic equation is y=ax^2 +bx +c. So, you substitute in the values of a, b, and c to the quadratic formula (x= -b +/- \|b^2-4ac all over 2a) in order to find the x value then, substitute in x to the quadratic equation and solve. You will have point (x,y) to graph
What is the turning point in the graph of a quadratic function?
The answer depends on the form in which the quadratic function is given. If it is y = ax2 + bx + c then the x-coordinate of the turning point is -b/(2a)
Is the graph of a quadratic function contains the point 0 0?
Some do and some don't. It's possible but not necessary.
How are the discriminant and the graph of a quadratic equation related?
If the discriminant = 0 then the graph touches the x axis at one point If the discriminant > 0 then the graph touches the x axis at two ponits If the discriminant < 0 then the graph does not meet the x axis
What does it mean when the graph of a quadratic function crosses the x axis twice?
When the graph of a quadratic crosses the x-axis twice it means that the quadratic has two real roots. If the graph touches the x-axis at one point the quadratic has 1 repeated root. If the graph does not touch nor cross the x-axis, then the quadratic has no real roots, but it does have 2 complex roots.
What is another name for the maximum or minimum point of a quadratic graph?
Apex.
What is the value of y at a point on a quadratic graph when it crosses the x axis?
zero
How are the graph of an equation and the set of all solutions of an equation related?
The coordinates of every point on the graph, and no other points, are solutions of the equation.
How does the graph show that the quadratic is a function?
No vertical line will intersect the graph in more than one point. The fundamental flaw is that no graph can show that it does not happen beyond the domain of the graph.
How do you solve quadratics using graphing?
Recall that the graph of a linear equation in two variables is a line. The equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a is different than 0 represents a quadratic function. Its graph is a parabola, a smooth and symmetric U-shape. 1. The axis of symmetry is the line that divides the parabola into two matching parts. Its equation is x = -b/2a 2. The highest or lowest point on a parabola is called the vertex (also called a turning point). Its x-coordinate is the value of -b/2a. If a > 0, the parabola opens upward, and the vertex is the lowest point on the parabola. The y-coordinate of the vertex is the minimum value of the function. If a < 0, the parabola opens downward, and the vertex is the highest point on the parabola. The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum value of the function. 3. The x-intercepts of the graph of y = ax^2 + bx + c are the real solutions to ax^2 + bx + c = 0. The nature of the roots of a quadratic function can be determined by looking at its graph. If you see that there are two x-intercepts on the graph of the equation, then the equation has two real roots. If you see that there is one x-intercept on the graph of the equation, then the equation has one real roots. If you see that the graph of the equation never crosses the x-axis, then the equation has no real roots. The roots can be used further to determine the factors of the equation, as (x - r1)(x -r2) = 0
