Complex roots mean the roots are equal.
Complex roots occur when the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) is negative, indicating that the solutions involve imaginary numbers.
Complex roots happen only when b = 0.
Complex roots are when b^2 - 4ac = 0.
Factoring transforms the equation to the form x^2 - a^2 = 0.
If a quadratic can be factored into (mx + n)(px + q) = 0, then the roots are found by setting each factor equal to zero and solving for x.
Use with complex roots only to simplify.
By transforming equation into a single linear equation.
'a' controls the y-intercept, 'b' changes the direction, 'c' is constant.
'a' scales the roots, 'b' is root difference, 'c' is angle.
In ax^2 + bx + c = 0, 'a' determines the parabola's direction and opening width, 'b' affects the position along the x-axis, and 'c' is the y-intercept.
'a', 'b', and 'c' all equally contribute to shape.
The vertex form is ax^2 + bx + c = y.
The vertex form is y = b(x – h)^2 + c.
The vertex form is y = a(x – h)^2 + k, where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.
The vertex form is y = a^2(x – h) + k.
Use the formula h = -b/(2a) to find the x-coordinate, and substitute it back into the equation to find the y-coordinate.
Set b = y and a = x to find the coordinates.
Plot the y-intercept to find the vertex.
Calculate the midpoint of the roots.
When (ax)^2 + bx + 1 = 0.
When it can be expressed in the form (ax)^2 + 2abx + b^2 = 0, representing (ax + b)^2.
When b^2 = 2a and c = 0.
When a > 0 and b = 0.
It reduces the quadratic to a simpler form of c(x + b).
It transforms a quadratic equation into a perfect square trinomial, making it easier to solve by taking the square root of both sides.
It finalizes the quadratic to be linearly solved.
It eliminates 'b' from the equation.
The sum is c/a, and the product is b/a.
For ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the sum of the roots is -b/a and the product is c/a.
The product is -b/a, and the sum is -c.
Both product and sum equal b^2 - 4ac.
A circle.
The graph of a quadratic function is called a parabola.

Use only first and last coordinates.
'a' value does not affect the direction at all.
If 'a' is zero, it opens horizontally.
If 'a' is positive, the parabola opens upwards; if negative, it opens downwards.
'a' only affects the color of the graph.
