Introductory Algebra Glossary Chapter Ten quadratic equation A quadratic equation is an equation that can be written in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers, with a 0. discriminant The quantity under the radical in the quadratic formula, b2 - 4ac. complex number Any number that can be written in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers. imaginary number A complex number a + bi with b 0. real part The real part of a complex number a + bi is a. imaginary part The imaginary part of the complex number a + bi is b. standard form of a complex number The standard form of a complex number is a + bi. conjugate of a complex number The conjugate of a complex number a + bi is a - bi. parabola The graph of a second-degree (quadratic) equation in two variables is called a parabola. parabola The graph of a second-degree (quadratic) equation in two variables is called a parabola. axis (axis of symmetry) The axis of a parabola is the vertical or horizontal line through the vertex of the parabola. quadratic function A function defined by an equation of the form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, for real numbers a, b, and c, with a 0.
