Answer: It is a polynomial function of degree 2 and whose graph is a parabola.
Explanation:
By definition a quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2 and whose graph is a parabola.
The Standard form of a quadratic function is:
Where "a", "b" and "c" are real numbers (
)
The Vertex form of a quadratic function is:
Where the point (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.
The Intercept form of a quadratic function is:
Where "p" and "q" are the x-intercepts.
