 Preguntas frecuentes

What is the quadratic formula?

The quadratic formula gives the roots of any equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0 with a ≠ 0. It is x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / (2a). The expression under the square root, b² − 4ac, is called the discriminant and decides whether the roots are real or complex.
What does the discriminant tell you?

The discriminant Δ = b² − 4ac classifies the roots without computing them. If Δ is greater than zero the parabola crosses the x-axis at two distinct real points. If Δ equals zero the parabola just touches the x-axis at a single repeated root. If Δ is less than zero the parabola does not cross the x-axis and the two roots are complex conjugates of the form −b/(2a) ± i√|Δ|/(2a).
What are complex roots and when do they appear?

Complex roots appear whenever the discriminant is negative, because you cannot take the real square root of a negative number. The roots are always written as a conjugate pair p + qi and p − qi, where i is the imaginary unit defined by i² = −1. Geometrically this means the parabola never intersects the x-axis at any real point.
What is the vertex form of a quadratic and why is it useful?

The vertex form a(x − h)² + k is obtained by completing the square on the standard form. It exposes the vertex (h, k) directly, so you can read off the parabola's lowest point (when a is positive) or highest point (when a is negative) without solving the equation. It also makes graphing and translation problems much easier.
What is the axis of symmetry of a parabola?

Every parabola is symmetric about a vertical line that passes through its vertex. For y = ax² + bx + c that line is x = −b/(2a), the same value as the x-coordinate of the vertex. Knowing the axis of symmetry lets you mirror any point on the parabola to find a matching point on the opposite side.
