A parabola is the graph of a quadratic function.

The line that divides a figure into two parts that are a mirror image.

An equation written in standard for ax(squared)+bx+c=0.

ax^2+bx+c

The vertex form of a quadratic is f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is the vertex

If the product if two or more factors is zero, then one of the factors must be zero.

A zero of a function is any value of the variable for which the function is 0.

Factoring is rewriting an expression as the product of its factors

A difference of two squares is an expression of the form a^2-b^2

The product you obtain when you square a binomial

An equation written in standard form ax^2+bx+c

The discriminant is important because it tells us the number and type of solutions.

any number of the form a+bi, where a doesn't equal 0 and i is the square root of -1

Imaginary numbers and real numbers together make up a c]set of complex numbers
