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

Back

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

How do you find the y-intercept of a quadratic function in vertex form?

Back

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 in the vertex form equation and solve for y.
