Roots of a quadratic (see source content): The values of for which . These are the solutions to the quadratic equation and can be found by solving the equation .
Roots as values of where : The specific -values that satisfy the quadratic function equal to zero, representing the points where the graph intersects the -axis.
Expressing quadratic in factored form using roots: The quadratic function can be written as , where and are the roots of the quadratic. This form makes roots explicit and simplifies solving.
Finding the coefficient using a known point: Once the roots are known, the coefficient can be determined by substituting a point on the parabola into the factored form and solving for .
