Quadratic MindMap

1. Axis of Symmetry

   • A vertical line that divides the parabola into two congruent halves.

2. Vertex

   • The common endpoint of two or more rays or line segments.

3. Parabola

   • A parabola is formed when you graph a quadratic function.
     • • http://www.mathopenref.com/parabolaeqn.html

4. Minimum

   • When the parabola opens up, the vertex is the lowest point on the graph.

5. Maximum

   • When the parabola opens down, the vertex is the highest point on the graph.

6. x-intercepts

   • A point in the equation where the y-value is zero.

7. Y-intercepts

   • A point in the equation where the x-value is zero.

8. Zeros of the function

   • An input value that produces an output of 0. If the function maps real numbers to real numbers, its 0's are the x-coordinates of the points where its graph meets the x-axis.

9. Roots of the equation

   • The roots are exactly the x-intercepts of the quadratic function , that is the intersection between the graph of the quadratic function with the x-axis.

10. End Behavoir

    • The behavior of the graph of f(x) as x approaches positive infinity or negative infinity.
      • http://hotmath.com/hotmath/topics/end-behavior-of-a-function.html

11. Discriminant

    • The discriminant reveals what type of roots the equation has.

12. Difference of Squares

    • Something squared minus something else squared.
      • http://www.purplemath.com/modules/specfact.htm

13. Perfect Square Trinomial

    • The expansion of a Binomial Squared.
      • web.cerritos.edu/.../Perfect_Sq._Trinomia(Mata).pdf

14. Factors of a Quadratic

    • A "quadratic" is a polynomial that looks like "ax2 + bx + c", where "a", "b", and "c" are just numbers. For the easy case of factoring, you will find two numbers that will not only multiply to equal the constant term "c", but also add up to equal "b", the coefficient on the x-term.
