# Quadratic Functions Word Search

In Mathematics 20-1, you analyze quadratic functions by identifying their key features: the vertex, axis of symmetry, intercepts, and direction of opening ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17777), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17778)). You work with functions in both vertex form and standard form, using techniques such as factoring and graphing to solve problems ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17775), [Resource](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/library/resource/L-Uj1j9H4kypxiv587R6aA)). This word search reinforces vocabulary you will use when studying quadratic equations, inequalities, and real-world applications such as trajectory modelling ([Resource](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/library/resource/L-Uj1j9H4kypxiv587R6aA), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/17782)).

## How to play

- Find each word hidden in the grid. Words may run horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and in either direction (left to right, top to bottom, or reversed).
- Circle or highlight each word as you find it. Use the word list as a checklist.
- When you have found all eight words, check your answers against the answer key.

## Words to find

- FACTORING
- GRAPHING
- INEQUALITY
- INTERCEPT
- PARABOLA
- POLYNOMIAL
- SYMMETRY
- TRAJECTORY
