Chapter 5 Wrap Up
In this chapter we studied quadratic functions, their properties, and applications thereof. Quadratic functions are a well known type of nonlinear function, but there are other nonlinear functions that are very important in mathematical modeling. In particular, exponential functions are nonlinear and widely used in various real world applications.

definition
A function that may be expressed in the form [latex]y=ax^{2}+bx+c[/latex] where a, b and c are constants and a is not equal to zero. The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola.
