In algebra, a quadratic function, a quadratic polynomial, a polynomial of degree 2, or simply a quadratic, is a polynomial function in one or more variables in which the highest-degree term is of the second degree.
If a < 0 , then k is the maximum value of the function. If a > 0 , then k is the minimum value of the function. Below these ideas are illustrated. Figure %: The graph of the parabola y = a(x - h)2 + k . It is a quadratic function in standard form. On the left a < 0 , and on the right a > 0 .
