What is the equation of quadratic?

Do you know how to plot a quadratic function graph? What does it mean by A,B and C?

We can plot a based on given tabulated values of the quadratic function. The parabolic curve obtained in the plot is a symmetrical curve with respect to a middle line. This middle line is called the axis of symmetry. The intersects the at the maximum or minimum point.

The x intercept is the value of x where the curve intersects the x axis. Similarly, the y intercept is the value of y where the curve intersects the y axis. The maximum or minimum point is also called the

The shapes of graphs of a quadratic function f(x)= a2+ bx+c depend on the value of a.

We can relate the positions of quadratic function graphs f(x) when f(x)=0 to the types of roots as follows:
b2-4ac>0 (two distinct roots); here, the graph intersects the x axis at two different points, which are the roots of the equationf(x)=0 . b2-4ac=0 (two equal roots ); here, the graph touches the x axis at one point only, which is the only root of the equation f(x)=0. b2-4ac<0 (no roots); here, the graph f(x) does not intersect the x axis, thus there is no root for the equation f(x)=0

Roots of the quadratic function graphs are the value of where xthe graph cuts the axis. x There are 3 ways to find roots of a quadratic functions, which are: -factorization -completing the square -using the quadratic formula The types of roots depends on the value of ~discriminant of a quadratic functions equation

CONCLUSION
b 2 4ac 0
Two distinct roots. Here, the graph intersects at the x axis at two different points, where the roots of the equation f(x)=0

b 2 4ac 0
Two equal roots. Here, the graph touches at the x axis at one point only, where the only root of the equation f(x)=0

b 2 4ac 0
No real roots. Here, the graph does not touch the x axis, thus, there is no root for the equation f(x)=0
