100

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

Parabola

100

This is the standard form of a quadratic function.

ax^2 + bx + c

100

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

Two

100

If a quadratic function experiences a vertical compression, which value in the standard from equation would indicate this?

a

100

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

x-values

200

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

Upward

200

This is the equation for the axis of symmetry.

x = -b/2a

200

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

Plug in x and solve for y

200

If a > 1, then is the graph a vertical stretch or a compression?

Vertical Stretch

200

What is Mr. Cresci's first name?

Brandon

300

The axis of symmetry is parallel to this coordinate axis.

Y-axis

300

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

Second

300

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

1

300

This is the most basic quadratic function.

y=x^2

300

What is this form of a quadratic function called:  y=a(x-h)^2 + k

Vertex Form
400

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

a<0

400

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

Coefficients

400

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

Minimum Value

400

This is the coordinate pair in the equation y=2x^2 -x -4 when x=-2.

(-2,6)

400

This is the sum (or difference) of three monomials.

Trinomial

500

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

Vertex

500

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

Factored Form

500

These are different names for zeros of a function.

Roots

500

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

-1 and 4

500

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