Front

What does the 'a' value indicate in the vertex form?

Back

The 'a' value indicates the direction and width of the parabola. If 'a' is positive, the parabola opens upwards; if negative, it opens downwards.

How do you determine the axis of symmetry from the vertex form?

Back

The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = h, where (h, k) is the vertex.

What does it mean if the vertex of a parabola is at the minimum point?

Back

If the vertex is at the minimum point, the parabola opens upwards and the vertex represents the lowest point on the graph.
