Understanding Quadratic Functions 🐸

Vertex: The highest or lowest point on the parabola.
Axis of Symmetry: A line that divides the parabola into two symmetrical halves.
Roots: Solutions to the equation where the graph intersects the x-axis.

Quadratic functions are a type of polynomial that follow the standard form: ax² + bx + c = 0. They create a parabolic graph, which can be seen in real-life applications such as projectile motion and the shapes of arches in architecture.
