Quadratic Functions Jeopardy

Graphing

100

This is the type of graph that a quadratic function forms.

Parabola

200

If the variable a>0, then the graph opens in this direction.

Upward

300

The axis of a parabola is parallel to this axis.

Y-axis

400

In this situation, the quadratic function is a reflection over the x-axis.

a<0

500

This is the what the highest or lowest point on a parabola is called.

Vertex

Forms

100

This is the standard form of a quadratic function.

ax^2 + bx + c

200

This is the number of forms a quadratic equation can be written in.

Three

300

This is the power that the variable in a quadratic function is raised to.

Second

400

These are what the letters a, b, and c in a quadratic funtion are called.

Coefficients

500

This is the form used to find the zeros of a function.

Factored Form

Points on the Function

100

This is the maximum number of x-intercepts a quadratic function can have.

Two

200

This is how you find y-coordinates for a point in a quadratic equation.

Plug in x and solve for y

300

This is the y-intercept for the quadratic function y=5x² + 6x + 1.

1

400

This is what the vertex of the graph is called when the coefficient a>0.

Minimum Value

500

These are different names for zeros of a function.

Roots

Graphing Cont.

100

In order for a quadratic function to be a shrink, a regular fraction must be substituted for this coeffiecient.

a

200

If x>1, then is the graph a verticle stretch or a shrink?

Stretch

300

This is the most basic quadratic function.

y=x^2

400

This is coordinates in the equation y=2x^2-x-4 if x=-2.

(-2,6)

500

These are the zeros of the function (x+1)(x-4).

-1 and 4

Miscellaneous

100

These are the values that are listed as the domain of a quadratic funtion.

x-values

200

This is the form represented by y=a(x-p)(x-q), when the x-intercepts are shown by the variables p and q.

Factored Form

300

This is the vertex form of a quadratic function.

y=a(x-h)^2 +k

400

This is the sum of three monomials.

Trinomial

500

This is the strategy to change a quadratic function in factored form back to standard form.
