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, ...

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 \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

In this part you do not have to sketch the graph and you may even be given the sketch of the graph to start with. For a quadratic equation of the form \(y = k{(x - a)^2} + b\), the following diagram ...

As part of a series of electronic professional development experiences for educators, the NASA Explorer Schools project is hosting a 60-minute Web seminar on Sept. 27, 2011, at 8 p.m. EDT. Investigate ...

Approaching negative infinity: The graph falls indefinitely as x approaches positive or negative infinity. Approaching a horizontal asymptote: The graph approaches a horizontal line as x approaches ...

Look for Key Features: Identify critical points and characteristics such as intercepts, vertices, asymptotes, and symmetry. Test Points: Choose a few points on the graph and plug their coordinates ...

This jingle has helped generations of algebra students recall the quadratic formula that solves every equation of the form $latex ax^2+bx+c=0$. The formula is as ...
