| parabola | a curve that is symmetric and represents a quadratic function |
| standard form of a quadratic function | y = ax^2+ bx + c |
| standard form of a linear function | ax + by = c |
| vertex | The point where a parabola crosses the line of symmetry |
| maximum | the vertex of a parabola that opens down |
| minimum | The vertex of a parabola that opens up |
| y-intercept | The point where the parabola crosses the y-axis |
| x-intercept | The point or points where the parabola crosses the x-axis |
| trinomial | an expression that can be written as the sum of three unlike terms |
| zero product property | States that when the product of factors is equal to zero, one or more of the factors equals zero. |
| quadratic formula | Used to solve quadratic equations that can't be factored or solved by property of square roots. |
