GP: Quadratic Equations

Standard form of a quadratic equation

• y=x²
• y=ax²+bx+c
• y=mx+b
• y=x

The graph of a quadratic function is called a

• Parabola
• Vertex
• Axis of Symmetry 
• Vertex Form

A parabola is upside-down when a is:

• negative
• positive
• 0
• infinite

Which best describes the vertex of a parabola?

• Any point on the parabola.
• A point on the x-axis.
• The highest or lowest point of a parabola
• A point on the y-axis.

Name the vertex

• (0,0)

What is the vertex?

• (2, 4)
• (3, -1)
• (0, 8)
• (4, 2)

What is the vertex?

• (5,2)
• (2,5)
• (-2,5)
• (-5,2)

Does this graph have a maximum or minimum value?

• maximum
• minimum
• neither
• both

Does this parabola have a minimum or maximum and what is its value?

• minimum: 2
• maximum: 2
• minimum: 5
• maximum: 5

The axis of symmetry line passes through which point?

• y-intercept
• any random point
• vertex
• symmetrical point for the vertex
