Characteristics Of Parabolas
Question: Parabola
Answer: The general shape of the graph of a quadratic function.
==================================================
Question: Vertex
Answer: The highest or lowest point of a parabola.
==================================================
Question: Maximum
Answer: The vertex of a parabola that is the highest point.
==================================================
Question: Minimum
Answer: The vertex of a parabola that is the lowest point.
==================================================
Question: Increasing values
Answer: The part of the parabola where the y values get larger.
==================================================
Question: Decreasing values
Answer: The part of the parabola where the y values get smaller.
==================================================
Question: y - intercept of a parabola
Answer: The point where a parabola crosses the y-axis. The x coordinate is zero.
==================================================
Question: x-intercept of a parabola
Answer: The point or points where a parabola crosses the x-axis. The y coordinates are zero. Also known as ZEROS
==================================================
Question: Line of Symmetry
Answer: The vertical line that goes through the vertex of the parabola. It cuts the parabola into two mirror images of each other.
==================================================
Question: Symmetric Points of a parabola
Answer: Points on a parabola that have the same y value.
