directrix

A directrix is the line that, together with a point called the focus, defines a parabola.

This diagram shows a parabola is the set of points equidistant from the focus and directrix.

used in:

factored form (of a quadratic expression)

A quadratic expression is in factored form when it is written as the product of a constant times two linear factors.

written in factored form is .
written in factored form is .

used in:

focus

A focus is the point that, together with a line called the directrix, defines a parabola.

This diagram shows a parabola is the set of points equidistant from the focus and directrix.

used in:

parabola

A parabola is the set of points that are equidistant from a given point, called the focus, and a given line, called the directrix.

used in:

quadratic expression

A quadratic expression is an expression that is equivalent to one of the form , where , , and are constants and .

used in:

quadratic function

A quadratic function is a function where the output is given by a quadratic expression in the input.

For example, , where , , and are constants and , is a quadratic function.

used in:

standard form (of a quadratic expression)

The standard form of a quadratic expression is , where , , and are constants and 0.

used in:

vertex (of a graph)

The vertex of the graph of a quadratic function or of an absolute value function is the point where the graph changes from increasing to decreasing, or vice versa. It is the highest or lowest point on the graph.

used in:

vertex form (of a quadratic expression)

The vertex form of a quadratic expression is , where , , and are constants and . The vertex of the graph is at the point .

used in:

zero (of a function)

A zero of a function is an input that results in an output of 0. In other words, if , then is a zero of .
