Vocabulary
Every quadratic equation has a U-shaped graph called this.
Parabolla
f(x) = x^2
Parent function. Opens up. AOS x=0. Vertex (0,0)
The highest or lowest point on a parabola.
Vertex
Open down. Vertical stretch. AOS x=0. Vertex (0,0).
When a quadratic equation is written in this form y = ax^2 +bx + c
Standard Form
f(x) = -2x^2
Open down. Vertical stretch. AOS x=0. Vertex (0,0).
The line that runs through the vertex and divides the parabola in half.
Axis of Symetry (AOS)
f(x) = -1/4x^2 + 3
Opens down. Vertical shrink. Transaltion up three. AOS x=0. Vertex (0,3)
What are the sets of all possible x and y-values called?
