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

Back

The 'a' value determines the direction of the parabola (upward or downward) and affects the width of the parabola.

What is the effect of changing the 'b' value in a quadratic function?

Back

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