you need a polynomial of the second degree with (a) not equal to zero. its standard form is this...
y = ax2 + bx + c a cannot equal zero
a b and c are all numbers you can put in
lets a = 2, b=5, and c=7 (it all depends on what problem you are given)
y = 2x2 + 5x + 7
quadratic equations form a parabola. parabolas are shaped in a U shape. they can open up in an upwards direction or downwards or sideways depending on the x and y values and the signs of the values.

A quadratic function will have a degree of two.
A quadratic function is a second degree polynomial, that is, is involves something raised to the power of 2, also know as squaring. Quadratus is Latin for square. Hence Quadratic.
It follows from the definition of a quadratic funtcion.
It is a quadratic equation that normally has two solutions
If a quadratic function is 0 for any value of the variable, then that value is a solution.
