Axis of Symmetry

 A line through a shape so that each side is a mirror image

Quadratic Function
a function that can be described by an equation of the form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a ≠ 0.

Standard Form of a quadratic Function and Vertex Formula of a Quadratic Function
both formulas determine if the parabola faces up or down and the Vertex also determines how wide the parabola will be

Zero product property
If the product of two or more factors is zero then at least one of the factors should be zero

used to simplify expressions, simplify fractions, and solve equations.

DIFFERENCE OF SQUARE

AN EXPRESSION WITH TWO TERMS WHICH ARE BOTH PERFECT SQUARES

PERFECT SQUARE TRINOMIAL

1ST,LAST TERM ARE PERFECT SQUARES, MIDDLE TERM IS 2X THE PRODUCT OF THE 1ST TERM

QUADRATIC FORMULA

THE SOLUTION OF THE QUADRATIC EQUATION

Discriminant
The name of the expression underneath the radical sign.
It's important because it tells us the numbers and types of solutions we have to solve.

IMAGINARY NUMBERS

A NUMBER THAT EQUALS ZERO WHEN IT IS SQUARED

COMPLEX NUMBERS

A COMBINATION OF A REAL AND IMAGINARY NUMBER
