01 2-1 The quadratic function: definition, values and points
- A quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + bx + c with a, b, c real and a ≠ 0; its graph is a parabola.
- The function value at x = k is f(k): substitute and compute — a point (k, m) lies on the curve exactly when f(k) = m.
- To find an unknown coefficient from a point on the curve, substitute the point and solve the resulting linear equation.
- The y-intercept is (0, c); the x-intercepts are the zeros of f.
