y = ax2 + bx + c

The graph is always a parabola.

'a', 'b', and 'c' are numbers. Different values for 'a', 'b', and 'c' produce parabolas with different widths,

noses at different heights and different left-right locations. They determine whether the parabola

opens up or opens down, and whether it crosses the 'x' and 'y' axes, and if so, where it crosses.

Two: one is 0, the other is -b/a ax2 + bx + c = 0, but c = 0 ⇒ ax2 + bx + 0 = 0 ⇒ ax2 + bx = 0 ⇒ x(ax + b) = 0 ⇒ x = 0 or (ax + b) = 0 ⇒ x = -b/a
