Factors of a Quadratic

Definition: Vertical line going through the parabola and the vertex

Definition: The lowest or highest point on the parabola

Definition: A U shaped symmetrical curve, formed like an arch

Definition: The lowest point of the parabola, when the parabola is opened up

Definition: The highest point of the parabola when the parabola is upside down

Definition: Points where parabola passes the x-axis.

Definition: Point where parabola passes the y-axis

Definition: Also known as the "roots" of the parabola. An input value hat produces and output of zero

Although roots are known as the zeros the difference is that zeros is in function and roots is in equations. The roots of an equation are where the parabola passes the x-axis and is the solution to the equation.

Definition: The behavior of the graph as "x" approaches positive infinity or negative infinity

Definition: Expression given from under the square root sign in teh quadratic formula.

Definition: The subtractions of two squares terms is a squared term minus from another squared term

Definition: Consists of the square of the first term of binomial, double the product of binomial's first and last term, and the square of the last term of binomial

Definition: Finds the roots or x-intercepts of the quadratic equation.
