Some do and some don't. It's possible but not necessary.

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.


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 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 can a quadratic function have both a maximum and a minimum point?

A quadratic function can only have either a maximum or a minimum point, not both. The shape of the graph, which is a parabola, determines this: if the parabola opens upwards (the coefficient of the (x^2) term is positive), it has a minimum point; if it opens downwards (the coefficient is negative), it has a maximum point. Therefore, a quadratic function cannot exhibit both extreme values simultaneously.


How do you find gradient on a quadratic graph?

To find the gradient on a quadratic graph, you first need to determine the derivative of the quadratic function, which is typically in the form (y = ax^2 + bx + c). The derivative, (y' = 2ax + b), represents the gradient at any point (x) on the curve. By substituting a specific (x) value into the derivative, you can find the gradient at that particular point on the graph. This gradient indicates the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the chosen point.

How is the function differentiable in graph?

If the graph of the function is a continuous line then the function is differentiable. Also if the graph suddenly make a deviation at any point then the function is not differentiable at that point . The slope of a tangent at any point of the graph gives the derivative of the function at that 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 zero of a function and how does it relate to the functions graph?

A zero of a function is a point at which the value of the function is zero. If you graph the function, it is a point at which the graph touches the x-axis.


What is the highest or lowest point on the graph of a quadratic function?

The highest or lowest point on the graph of a quadratic function, known as the vertex, depends on the direction of the parabola. If the parabola opens upwards (the coefficient of the (x^2) term is positive), the vertex represents the lowest point. Conversely, if the parabola opens downwards (the coefficient is negative), the vertex is the highest point. The vertex can be found using the formula (x = -\frac{b}{2a}) to find the (x)-coordinate, where (a) and (b) are the coefficients from the quadratic equation (ax^2 + bx + c).


Explain how the number of solutions for a quadratic equation relates to the graph of the function?

The number of solutions for a quadratic equation corresponds to the points where the graph of the quadratic function intersects the x-axis. If the graph touches the x-axis at one point, the equation has one solution (a double root). If it intersects at two points, there are two distinct solutions, while if the graph does not touch or cross the x-axis, the equation has no real solutions. This relationship is often analyzed using the discriminant from the quadratic formula: if the discriminant is positive, there are two solutions; if zero, one solution; and if negative, no real solutions.
