Learning From a 790 Math Scorer: Parabolas/Quadratic Functions and Constants

SAT Score Range

1 session

About

Quadratics (parabolas) are everywhere on the SAT. They’re one of the most frequently tested topics on the math section, and mastering them is one of the fastest ways to boost your score.

In this course, we’ll focus on quadratic functions (parabolas) and constants. You’ll learn how to:

Use the discriminant to predict the constant variable in a quadratic equation.

Apply the sum and product of roots shortcuts

Solve quadratics efficiently without getting stuck in algebra traps

Understand how constants affect the shape and position of the parabola

Understand how to use DESMOS in different scenarios
