What name is given to the shape of a quadratic function?
A parabola
What is a parabola that opens to the right called?
It is a square root mapping. This is not a function since it is a one-to-many mapping.
How do you do a parabola?
A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.
Parabola is the point at which the parabola is at its lowest or highest point?
A parabola is NOT a point, it is the whole curve.
Is a function always a relation and a relation always a function?
yes.
Is a graph of a quadratic function always a parabola?
No. It can also be a circle, ellipse or hyperbola.
Does a parabola always have roots and a vertex?
An x2 parabola will always have one vertex, but depending on the discriminant of the function (b2-4ac) the parabola will either have 2 roots (it crosses the x-axis twice), 1 repeating root (the parabola meets the x-axis at a single point), or no real roots (the parabola doesn't meet the x-axis at all)
What different information do you get from vertex form and quadratic equation in standard form?
The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. If you put the equation (or function) into vertex form, you can read off the coordinates of the vertex, and you know the shape and orientation (up/down) of the parabola.
How do you find the endpoints of a parabola when you have the function of the line?
A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.
What is the diameter of a parabola?
It is the bisector of any 2 parallel chords drawn to the parabola. It is always parallel to the axis of the parabola.
What is another name for a quadratic function?
A 'Parabola'
Is parabola always yx2?
No, but any parabola can be transformed into the form y = x^2.
Is a parabola a function?
Y = X2 ===== The graph of this parabola is crossed only at a point and once by a vertical line, so it is a function. Passes the vertical line test.
What is the name of the graph of a quadratic function?
The parabola
What name is given to the shape of a quadratic function?
A parabola
Why is any parabola that opens upward or downward a function?
It is a function because for every point on the horizontal axis, the parabola identified one and only one point in the vertical direction.
What is a parabola that opens to the right called?
It is a square root mapping. This is not a function since it is a one-to-many mapping.
