Quadratic Functions, Quadratic Expressions, Quadratic Equations Quadratic Expressions: Factored Form Factoring quadratic expressions: Examples: Examples: Quadratic Equations: Methods of Solution: Examples: Method 2: Use the QUADRATIC FORMULA The Discriminant: Examples: Quadratic Functions: Key features of the graph: Examples: * Definition: A quadratic function is a function of the form where a, b, c are real numbers and a ? 0. The expression on the right-hand-side is call a quadratic expression. Examples: 2. 1. Given where a, b, c are integers. Case 1: a = 1; Since we have Case 2: where a, b, c are integers and a ? 1. Since we have A quadratic equation is an equation of the form: Problem: Find the real numbers x, if any, that satisfy the equation. The numbers that satisfy the equation are called solutions or roots. Method 1: Factor then the solutions (roots) of the equation are The real number solutions (roots) of the quadratic equation are: provided The quadratic formula is often written as The number is called the discriminant. Given the quadratic equation If: (1) ; the roots are: (2) the roots are: (3) no real roots. The graph of is a parabola. The graph looks like if a 0 if a 0 The maximum or minimum point on the graph is called the vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is: The y-intercept; the y-coordinate of the point where the graph intersects the y-axis. The y-intercept is: The x-intercepts; the x-coordinates of the points, if any, where the graph intersects the x-axis. To find the x-intercepts, solve the quadratic equation *
