This is the equation for finding the line of symmetry and the x value of the vertex.
What is x = -b/2a?
These are the 3 other methods besides graphing we learned to solve quadratic equations.
What are factoring, completing the square and quadratic formula?
This letter represents the y-intercept when the equation is in standard form.
What is "c"?
This is the value of "c" that would make x2+8x + c a perfect square trinomial.
What is 16?
The vertex in y=a(x-h)2+k
What is (h,k)?
This is the value of the discriminant of the equation 5x2-3x+1
What is -11?
This is where you would find the solution(s) to the quadratic equation on the graph.
What is (are) the x-intercept(s)?

What is a minimum?
The solutions to the equation (x-5)(x+2)=0.
What are 5 and -2?
What is (2x-7)?
This is what the maximum or minimum point of the parabola is called.
What is the vertex?
It is the vertex point for the function x2 + 6x + 6.
What is (-3, -3)?
This is what the "a" in y=a(x-h)2+k affects in terms of the graph of the parabola.
What is how wide or skinny it is?
This is the order of the following quadratic functions from skinniest to widest parabola: y=(2/5)x2, y=7x2, y=-12x2
What is y=-12x2, y=7x2, y=(2/5)x2?
