1. A quadratic function is a polynomial function in one or more variables, in which the highest-degree term is of the second degree, a, b, and c are numbers and a is not equal to zero. y=ax²+bx+c

2. The vertex is the lowest or highest point of a parabola.

3. The axis of symmetry is the vertical line that divides the parabola into two identical halves. It passes through the vertex.

4. The concavity of a function can be determined when working with the form f(x)=ax²+bx+c If a is positive, then f is positive and the graph of f is concave up. If a is negative, then f is negative and the graph of f is concave down.

5. Roots are the x-intercepts or zeros. In a function there can be one, two, or zero roots.

6. To find the roots you only have to set a value for x and then solve the equation: ax^2+bx+c=0

1. Simplest quadratic function is Y=x^2 . Its general form can be Y=ax^2+bx+c when a≠0

2. Where two lines segments or rays meet.

3. The vertical line that passes through the vertex

4. If the graph opens upward, the y-coordinate of the vertex is the minimum (concave up). If the graph opens downward, the y-cordinate of the vertex is the maximum (concave down)

5. They are the x-intercepts or zeros. the quadratic function may have one, two, or zero roots.

6. To find the rots of a quadratic function we set f (x) = 0. Then we solve the equation: ax ² + bx + c = 0

1. Quadratic Functions can be written like: f(x)= ax 2 + bx + c. They have graphs that are parabolas.

2. The minimum or maximum in a quadratic equation.

3. A line of symmetry for a graph.

4. For a quadratic function f(x)=ax2+bx+c,
if a>0, then f is concave upward everywhere,
if a<0, then f is concave downward everywhere.

5. Roots are also called x-intercepts or zeros. A quadratic function may have one, two, or zero roots.

6. to find the roots of a quadratic function, we set f (x) = 0, and solve the equation: ax ² + bx + c = 0.

1. Is a polynomial function with one or more variables where the highest variable is to the second power. Form: f(x) = ax² − bx + c

2. The common point of two line segments.

3. It´s the line that runs out the center of the parabola, dividing it in two perfect halves.

4. -Concave upward: Slope increases. (It´s positive)

-Concave downward: Slope decreases. (It´s negative)

5. The roots are the "x" intercepts of the graph.

6. We fin roots by setting f(x) = 0. You can find them by using the quadratic formula or factoring.
