When finding factors of a number, you are just finding numbers that can factor into it. When finding the prime factorization, you are narrowing down the factors to the smallest factored numbers.

Ex:   40 •The bolded numbers are the most simplified factors.

Quadratic function of Y=x2-2x-3

Svetach [21]

Ok! So, given a quadratic function, y = ax2 + bx + c, when "a" is positive, the parabola opens upward and the vertex is the minimum value. On the other hand, if "a" is negative, the graph opens downward and the vertex is the maximum value. Now, let's refer back to our original graph, y = x2, where "a" is 1.

Hope this helps.
