Intro Parabola

The graph of a quadratic function is called a

What is the vertex of this parabola?

Name the y-intercept.

Does the graph have a minimum or maximum?

In the equation of a parabola, d is the distance from the ​ (a)   to the ​ (b)   .

In a vertical parabola, which coordinate changes from the vertex to the focus?

Given a parabola with a vertex of (4,0) and a focus of (4,-1) write the equation of the parabola.

Given a parabola with a vertex at (4,3) and a directrix of y=1, write the equation of the parabola.

In a parabola, "p" tells you the distance from the ​ (a)   to the ​ (b)   and ​ (c)  

What is the vertex of the graph. Is it a maximum or minimum?
