Questions and Answers

What do the coefficients 'b' and 'c' represent in the quadratic function?

The coefficient 'b' represents the linear term, which determines the position of the vertex and the direction of the shift. The coefficient 'c' represents the constant term, which determines the y-intercept of the parabola.

What is the general form of the quadratic function?

The general form of a quadratic function is F(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

What does the coefficient 'a' determine in the quadratic function?

The coefficient 'a' determines the shape and direction of the parabola. If a > 0, the parabola opens upwards, and if a < 0, the parabola opens downwards.

What is the vertex form of the quadratic function?

The vertex form of the quadratic function is $f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k$, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the vertex. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Quadratic Function Coefficients

In the quadratic function, 'b' represents the coefficient of the linear term, and 'c' represents the constant term.
The coefficient 'a' determines the shape of the parabola, with positive 'a' opening upwards and negative 'a' opening downwards.

Quadratic Function Forms

The general form of the quadratic function is ax^2 + bx + c, where 'a', 'b', and 'c' are coefficients.
The vertex form of the quadratic function is a(x - h)^2 + k, where 'h' is the x-coordinate of the vertex, and 'k' is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

Quadratic Function Discriminant

The discriminant of a quadratic function is b^2 - 4ac, which determines the number of solutions.
When the discriminant is equal to zero, the quadratic function has exactly one solution, indicating that the graph touches the x-axis at a single point.
