A quadratic function means its a parabola. A quartic functionis similar in shape to the quadratic graph. remember the equationfor quadratic functions ax^{2}+bx+c. Always helpful toremember! You can always differenitate from the rest just byremembering it!
Also think about what the function looks like to you. Aquadratic function opens up if its positive and it opens down if its negative.
A quadratic function differes from a cubic function forseveral reasons. 1, a cubic graph goes through the origin (0,0) andveers right, into the first quadrant. And from the bottom it veersleft into the third quadrant. Parabolas stay within the 1 and 2ndquadrants and 3 and 4th quadrants.

The shape of a quartic function is similar to a quadraticequation. It is different from the cubic function because itdoes not have an inflection point.
