1. The quadratic formula is

Answer: x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / 2a

It solves ax² + bx + c = 0.

2. In ax² + bx + c = 0, the discriminant is

Answer: b² − 4ac

It tells how many real roots.

3. If the discriminant is negative, there are

Answer: no real roots

The graph does not cross the x-axis.

4. If the discriminant is zero, there is

Answer: one real root (a repeated root)

The vertex sits on the x-axis.

5. The axis of symmetry is

Answer: x = −b/(2a)

It is a vertical line through the vertex.

6. A parabola opens upward when

Answer: a > 0

a is the coefficient of x².

7. FOIL is a way to

Answer: multiply two binomials

(x+2)(x+3) = x² + 5x + 6.

8. The solutions of x² − 5x + 6 = 0 are

Answer: x = 2 and x = 3

Factors as (x−2)(x−3).

9. A function assigns

Answer: exactly one output to each input

The vertical-line test checks graphs.

10. f(3) means

Answer: the output when the input is 3

Substitute 3 for x.

11. If f(x) = 2x + 1, f(4) =

Answer: 9

2(4)+1 = 9.

12. Domain is the set of

Answer: allowed inputs

Watch for division by zero and even roots of negatives (over the reals).

13. Range is the set of

Answer: outputs that actually occur

For y = x², range is y ≥ 0.

14. (f + g)(x) means

Answer: f(x) + g(x)

Add outputs.

15. A composition f(g(x)) means

Answer: plug g(x) into f

Inside first.

16. An inverse function undoes

Answer: the original function

f(f⁻¹(x)) = x.
