Graphing Quadratic Functions: Identifying Features and Direction

This video tutorial covers the identification of features in simple quadratic functions by graphing them. It begins with a review of order of operations and evaluates quadratic expressions. The tutorial clarifies the concept of vertical lines on a coordinate plane and proceeds to graph basic quadratic functions like y = x^2, y = 3x^2, and y = -3/2x^2. It highlights the importance of the vertex, axis of symmetry, and the effect of the leading coefficient on the direction of the parabola. The video concludes with a comparison of graphs with different leading coefficients.
