graph faces downwards
In the expression ax² + bx + c, what happens to the graph when the a value is negative?
a
In the expression ax² + bx + c, which value determines how the parabola opens?
x-value
Is the axis of symmetry the x-value of the vertex or the y-value of the vertex?
Minimum
Is the vertex for the quadratic equation x² - 4x + 6 = 0 a max or a min?
x = -b/(2a)
The formula for the axis of symmetry is
Axis of Symmetry
The line that splits a quadratic equation at the point of symmetry is called
False
True or false: Every parabola crosses the x-axis.
True
True or false: The domain for all quadratic functions is always "all real numbers."
True
True or false: The roots of a quadratic function are the x-intercepts.
False
True or false: Where the graph crosses the y-axis is called the root.
True
True or false: a quadratic function can have 0, 1, or 2 roots.
True
True or false: a quadratic function's graph is called a parabola.
True
True or false: the vertex is on the axis of symmetry.
