FUNCTION
 OBJECTIVES:

❑ Define and differentiate the basic quadratic

terminology
❑ Change quadratic equations to standard form
and find the values of a, b and c
❑ Solve quadratic equations using the quadratic
formula
 BASIC QUADRATIC TERMINOLOGY
Quadratic Expression is one where the largest
power of variable is 2. You cannot solve an
expression for a variable.
 BASIC QUADRATIC TERMINOLOGY
Quadratic Equation is an equation where
the largest power of variable is 2. It is given so you
can solve it for a variable.
 BASIC QUADRATIC TERMINOLOGY
Quadratic Function is a function where
the largest power of variable is 2. A function takes
the form y= or f(x)=. It is given so you can graph it.

y = -3x2 - 4 f(x) = 8x2 - 1

y = ½(x-2)2 - 4
