Quadratics
-Quadratic,from quad meaning
squared because the variable
gets squared.
-Forms a Parabola,or
a curve,on a graph
The solutions are
the x-intercepts
Roots
Zeros

Standard Form

-a,b and c are

values
-a0
-x is the variable

-The value of a is
1
-The value of b is
-10
-The value of c is
16

Vertex Form

h and k are coordinates for the vertex

of the parabola
h=x k=y

Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

1.Have your problem in

standard form. 2.Use a
factoring strategy. *Youre
looking for two #s that multiply
to equal c and adds up to b
3.Use the zero product
property and set each factor
containing a variable of zero

-If a>0 the parabola

opens upward
-If a<o the parabola
opens downward

Solving Qudratic Functions with the Quadratic

Formula
The Discriminant

Just plug in the values!

Means youll have
two answers

Positive:two real
solutions
Zero:one real solution
Negative:2 complex
solutions

In Conclusion
-Quadratic functions consist of values and variables with
one of the variables squared
-They can be expressed and solved in different ways
-When graphed quadratic functions are nonlinear and are
graphically expressed as parabolas
-The solutions to quadratic functions are the x-intercepts
-Quadratics are in real life!
