21 Quadratic Terms

1. Reflection

1.1. Ex:

1.2. Def: A transformation in which a geometric figure is reflected across a line, creating a mirror image.

2. Axis

2.1. Ex: y axis and x axis

2.2. Def: A fixed reference line for the measurement of coordinates. In a two-dimensional coordinate system, a horizontal axis is often referred to as the x-axis and a vertical axis is referred to as the y-axis.

3. Symmetry

3.1. Ex:

3.2. Def: A fixed reference line for the measurement of coordinates. In a two-dimensional coordinate system, a horizontal axis is often referred to as the x-axis and a vertical axis is referred to as the y-axis.

4. Prabola

4.1. Ex:

4.2. Def: A parabola is a curve where any point is at an equal distance from: a fixed point (the focus ), and. a fixed straight line (the directrix )

5. vertex

5.1. Def: each angular point of a polygon, polyhedron, or other figure.

6. Graph

6.1. Def: a diagram representing a system of connections or interrelations among two or more things by a number of distinctive dots, lines, bars, etc.

7. Analyze

7.1. Def: examine methodically and in detail the constitution or structure of (something, especially information), typically for purposes of explanation and interpretation.

8. Y- intercept

8.1. Def: In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept

9. Upward

9.1. Def: toward a higher place, point, or level.

10. Downward

10.1. Def: toward a lower place, point, or level.

11. coordinate

11.1. Def: A set of values that show an exact position.

12. Quadratic Function

12.1. Ex:f(x) = ax2 + bx + c

12.2. Def: A curve called a parabola. Parabolas may open upward or downward and vary in "width" or "steepness", but they all have the same basic "U" shape.

13. Parent Function

13.1. Ex: f(x)=x

13.2. Def: The simplest function of a family of functions that preserves the definition of the entire family.

14. Axis of Symmetry

14.1. Ex:

14.2. Def:A line through a shape so that each side is a mirror image.

15. congruent

15.1. Def: identical in form; coinciding exactly when superimposed.

16. Vertical

16.1. Def: at right angles to a horizontal plane; in a direction, or having an alignment, such that the top is directly above the bottom.

17. Value

17.1. Def: Value is worth

18. X-coordinate

18.1. Def: The X Coordinate is always written first in an ordered pair of coordinates

19. Units

19.1. Def: an individual thing or person regarded as single and complete but which can also form an individual component of a larger or more complex whole.

20. Plot:

20.1. Def: To represent graphically, as on a chart
