There are many ways to solve a quadratic equation. Let's check out how to solve a quadratic equation by graphing. But first, let's find the axis of symmetry and the vertex before making a table of values. Write the values as ordered...

Find the zeros on a given graph of a quadratic equation. What does this mean? It means to find the values at which the parabola crosses the x-axis. It seems pretty straightforward to be able to look at a graph and identify the points at...

The graph of a quadratic equation is a parabola. Parabolas are symmetrical. The line that passes through the vertex is called the axis of symmetry. And if the parabolas were folded along this line, the two sides would be symmetrical....

Short and simple. X equals negative b divided by two(a) is the formula used to find the axis of symmetry. If the quadratic equation is in standard form, identify the values for a, b, and c and plug the values into the formula. Do the...

What is the highest point of an upside-down parabola called? It's called the maximum of a quadratic function, also known as, the vertex.

What is the lowest point of a 'U' shaped parabola called? It's called the minimum of a quadratic function, also known as, the vertex.

What is the highest point of an upside down parabola called? It's called the maximum of a quadratic function, also known as, the vertex.

What is the lowest point of a 'U' shaped parabola called? It's called the minimum of a quadratic function, also known as, the vertex.

Do not always be maxed out by the vertex. A short video introduces the graphical display of the vertex and zeros of a quadratic function. The presenter provides the definitions of the minimum and maximum of the graph along with...

Challenge: Sketch a graph of a quadratic function without making a table of values. High schoolers learn how different parameters affect the graph of a quadratic function. The problem video focuses on dilations of quadratic graphs.

What things need to be done to graph a quadratic function? Well, first, find the axis of symmetry, then find the vertex of the parabola, then create a table and plug in some x-values to get the resulting y-values. Now write the values as...
