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

Back

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

What is the significance of the vertex in a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex represents the maximum or minimum point of the parabola, depending on the direction it opens.

What is the effect of changing the 'h' value in vertex form?

Back

Changing the 'h' value shifts the parabola left or right. If 'h' increases, the parabola shifts to the right; if 'h' decreases, it shifts to the left.
