What does the graph of a quadratic equation look like?

Back

The graph of a quadratic equation is a parabola, which can open upwards or downwards depending on the sign of 'a'.

What is the vertex of a parabola?

Back

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

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

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if a quadratic has a maximum value?

Back

A quadratic has a maximum value if it opens downwards, indicating the vertex is the highest point on the graph.

Front

What does it mean if a quadratic has a minimum value?

Back

A quadratic has a minimum value if it opens upwards, indicating the vertex is the lowest point on the graph.

Front

How can you determine if a quadratic has a maximum or minimum?

Back

You can determine this by looking at the sign of 'a': if 'a' is positive, it has a minimum; if negative, it has a maximum.
