This video introduces graphing quadratic functions, covering the standard, vertex, and factored forms. It explains the characteristics of parabolas, including the axis of symmetry and vertex. The video guides viewers through graphing quadratic functions, using example problems to illustrate the process. Key concepts such as domain, range, and the impact of the 'a' value on the graph's direction are discussed.

Which of the following is the standard form of a quadratic function?

• f(x) = ax + b

• f(x) = a(x - m)(x - p)

• f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

• f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

What is the shape of a quadratic function called?

• Parabola

• Hyperbola

• Circle

• Ellipse
