7A Quadratic Function Features

7A: graph quadratic functions on the coordinate plane and use the graph to identify key attributes, including x-intercept, y-intercept, zeros, maximumvalue, minimumvalue, vertex, and the equation of the axis of symmetry.

​A quadratic function is one of the form
f(x) = ax² + bx + c,
where a, b, and c are numbers with a not equal to zero.

​The graph of a quadratic function is called a parabola and is u-shaped.

VERTEX : center point

​MINIMUM : the y-value of the vertex when the parabola opens up

​MAXIMUM : the y-value of the vertex when the parabola opens down
