Graphs of Quadratic Functions & Vertex of a Parabola

There are many more videos in the same sequence.  This list is a minimum, but please watch more if they are helpful.

  1. \rhd Finding the vertex and axis of symmetry of a parabola.  Example used is y = -x^2 +8x +8.
  2. \rhd Forms and features of quadratic functions (8:28)
    Here we see how factoring can be used to find the zeros (x-intercepts) and the vertex form reveals the vertex and axis of symmetry using f(x) = x^2-5x+6.
  3. \star Practice finding the roots, vertex, and axis of symmetry of a quadratic function.
