What are the key characteristics of a quadratic function?

Back

The key characteristics include: 1) Parabola shape (opens upwards if a > 0, downwards if a < 0), 2) Vertex (the highest or lowest point), 3) Axis of symmetry (vertical line through the vertex), 4) x-intercepts (roots) and y-intercept.

How do you determine the direction in which a parabola opens?

Back

The direction of the parabola is determined by the coefficient 'a' in the quadratic function: if a > 0, it opens upwards; if a < 0, it opens downwards.
