A: Concepts

Exercise $\PageIndex{A}$

1) Explain the advantage of writing a quadratic function in standard form.

2) How can the vertex of a parabola be used in solving real world problems?

3) Explain why the condition of $a≠0$ is imposed in the definition of the quadratic function.

4) What is another name for the standard form of a quadratic function?

5) What two algebraic methods can be used to find the horizontal intercepts of a quadratic function?

Answers to Odd Examples:

3. If $a=0$ then the function becomes a linear function.

5. If possible, we can use factoring. Otherwise, we can use the quadratic formula.Add texts here.
