All quadratic functions have the same type of curved graphs with a line of symmetry. The graph of the quadratic function \(y = ax^2 + bx + c \) has a minimum turning point when \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

This video gives you the fastest and easiest method to understand and sketch parabolas—no complex math required. We break it down step-by-step: finding the vertex, identifying the axis of symmetry, ...

The graph below has a turning point (3, -2). Write down the nature of the turning point and the equation of the axis of symmetry. For the parabola \(y=(x+6)(x-4)\) determine the coordinates and nature ...

Many, many years ago, during my Algebra 2 class, we had the classic assignment of graphing parabolas. After a while of “select X, calculate Y,” I came to the conclusion that there had to be a simpler ...

A parabola is a curved line with particular characteristics. Any point on the curve is the same distance from a fixed point and a fixed straight line. The result looks like half of an ellipse or the ...
