Key Features of Quadratic Functions

Define Minimum

• The highest y-value on the graph

• Where the parabola touches or intersects the y-axis

• Where the parabola touches or intersects the x-axis, also called the x-intercept

• The lowest y-value on the graph

Define Roots

• Where the parabola touches or intersects the y-axis

• The lowest y-value on the graph

• Where the parabola touches or intersects the x-axis, also called the x-intercept

• A line that divides the graph into two equal parts. i.e. cuts the graph in half
