What does the 'a' value in the vertex form of a quadratic equation indicate?

Back

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

What is the significance of the vertex in a parabola?

Back

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

Front

How do you determine the x-intercepts of a quadratic function?

Back

To find the x-intercepts, set the quadratic equation equal to zero and solve for x.

Front

What is the relationship between the vertex and the axis of symmetry?

Back

The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry, which is the line that divides the parabola into two equal halves.

What are the characteristics of a parabola that opens upwards?

Back

A parabola that opens upwards has a minimum point at its vertex and the arms extend upwards.
