Study Notes
Quadratic Functions
- The vertex form of a quadratic function is
f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k
, where(h, k)
is the vertex of the parabola.
Discriminant of a Quadratic Equation
- The discriminant of a quadratic equation
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
isb^2 - 4ac
. - It determines the nature of the roots of the equation:
- If
b^2 - 4ac > 0
, the equation has two distinct real roots. - If
b^2 - 4ac = 0
, the equation has one repeated real root. - If
b^2 - 4ac < 0
, the equation has no real roots.
- If
Axis of Symmetry
- The axis of symmetry of a parabola given by the equation
y = 3x^2 - 6x + 2
isx = -b / 2a
, which isx = (-(-6)) / (2 * 3) = 1
.
