What is the vertex of a parabola?

Back

The vertex of a parabola is the highest or lowest point on the graph, depending on whether it opens upwards or downwards.

What does the 'a' value in a quadratic function indicate?

Back

The 'a' value determines the direction of the parabola: if 'a' is positive, the parabola opens upwards; if 'a' is negative, it opens downwards.

Front

What does the 'b' value in a quadratic function affect?

Back

The 'b' value affects the position of the vertex along the x-axis and the axis of symmetry of the parabola.

What is the significance of the 'c' value in a quadratic function?

Back

The 'c' value represents the y-intercept of the quadratic function, which is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis.

Front

What is the minimum value of a quadratic function?

Back

The minimum value occurs at the vertex of the parabola when it opens upwards, and it is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

Front

What is the maximum value of a quadratic function?

Back

The maximum value occurs at the vertex of the parabola when it opens downwards, and it is the y-coordinate of the vertex.
