The graph (shape) of a quadratic relation is called a parabola.
Features of a parabola
Axis of symmetry
The highest or lowest point on the parabola. y=_
Optimal value (Minimum / maximum value)
It divides the parabola in to 2 halves. It goes through the x-axis. x=_
The point where the graph crosses the x- intercept. This could have 2 values. x=_
The point where the graph crosses the y- intercept. y=_
Y- Intercept
X- Intercept
Vertex
Zeros
The x-value. It could also have 2 values. x=_
It's where the axis of symmetry and the parabola meet. The maximum or minimum point on the graph. It is the point where the graph changes direction. (x, y)
