Study Notes
Quadratic Functions
- The vertex form of a quadratic function is a way to express the function in terms of its vertex (minimum or maximum point).
Vertex Form Variables
- In the vertex form, 'h' represents the x-coordinate of the vertex.
- 'a' determines whether the parabola opens upward (a > 0) or downward (a < 0), and its magnitude affects the steepness of the curve.
Hyperbolas
- In the standard form of a hyperbola, the y variable is squared.
Hyperbola Coefficients
- The coefficient of the squared term in the standard form of a hyperbola determines the shape of the hyperbola.
- The difference between the squared terms determines the center of the hyperbola.
