question
the quadratic formula is x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 times a times c all over 2 times a.
answer
Quadratic formula (Find the Roots)
question
if the discriminant is 0, the roots are real, rational and equal. if the discriminant is negative, the roots are complex or imaginary. if the discriminant is a perfect square, the roots are real, rational, and unequal. if the discriminant is not a perfect square, the roots are real, irrational, and unequal
answer
Discriminant (describe the roots)
question
The sum of the roots is negative b divided by a. The product of the roots is c divided by a. The equation for sum and product of the roots is x squared minus the sum times x plus the product equals 0.
answer
Sum and product of roots
question
To solve absolute value inequalities Isolate the absolute value on one side of the equation. Change the inequality sign and the sign(s) of the terms on the right to the opposite signs. If the original inequality has a greater than or greater than or equal to (? or >) sign use or between your solutions. Solution is (?) solution. If the original inequality has a less than or less than or equal to (? or <) write as an interval. Solution <(?) x <(?) solution. You have to divide by a negative, do not forget to flip the inequality sign.
answer
Absolute value inequalities
question
To solve an absolute value equation Isolate the absolute value on one side of the equation. Change the sign(s) of the terms on the right to the opposite sign(s). check your answer(s) for extraneous roots.
answer
Absolute value equations
question

answer
Inverse variation
question
To find the conjugate The first term stays the same. Change the sign of the second term.
answer
Conjugate
question
The domain is the x coordinates. The range is the y coordinates. To find the inverse switch the x and y coordinates.
answer
Domain, range, inverse
question
To be a function It must pass the vertical line test. No x coordinate can repeat. An equation must have a y, but the y cannot be squared.
answer
Function
question
A one to one function must pass the vertical and horizontal line test. No x or y coordinate can repeat.
answer
One to one function
question
