Quadratic function in general form: y=ax2+bx+c
- Lesson: 112:53
Quadratic function in general form: y=ax2+bx+c
Quadratic functions can be written in three different forms: general form/standard form, vertex form and factored form. The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. In this lesson, we will learn how to draw the graph and to find the x-intercepts, y-intercepts, vertex of quadratic functions in general form.
Basic Concepts: Graphing linear functions using table of values, Graphing linear functions using x- and y-intercepts, Graphing linear functions using various forms, Introduction to quadratic functions
Related Concepts: Nature of roots of quadratic equations: The discriminant, Radian measure and arc length, System of linear-quadratic equations, System of quadratic-quadratic equations
