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

In this lesson, I will teach you all about the world of parabolas/quadratics and constants. I will show you how to use the discriminant and equations to find the sum/product of solutions. I will also show you some key tricks on DESMOS after you have learned to apply these concepts.
