Quadratics

Parabola- A special curve, shaped like an arch
1. Zeros Of The Function- where the parabola crosses the x-axis
Axis of Symmetry- The vertical line that divides the parabola into two congruent halves.
X-Intercepts- The roots of the parabola
Minimum- the y-coordinate of the vertex of a parabola that opens up
Maximum- the y-coordinate of the vertex of a parabola that opens down
Vertex-The point where the parabola crosses it's axis of symmetry
Y-Intercepts- the point where the function crosses the y-axis
Roots Of The Equation- the x-intercepts
End Behavior- The behavior of the graph as 'x' approaches positive or negative infinity
Discriminant- Tells the "nature" of the roots
Difference Of Squares- Subtracting a squared number by another squared number
Perfect square trinomial- squaring a binomial
Factors Of A Quadratic- what you multiply to get the quadratic
