​Parts of a Quadratic

• ​Open Up/Down?

• Vertex

• Axis of Symmetry

​Axis of Symmetry

Symmetry - When something is the same on one side as the other.

​

Axis of Symmetry - the line that separates the two identical sides​

​

Formula:​

​Vertex

The Point where the axis of symmetry switches the other direction​.

​

Maximum- When the vertex is the top

Minimum- ​When the vertex is the bottom

​

Formula:​

​

y-coordinate - Plug in the x-coord.​
