Lesson Summary:
In this lesson, we learn how to graph a parabola and state all of its important components, such as the axis of symmetry, vertex point, maximum or minimum point, y-intercept, x-intercepts, domain, and range. By plugging in different values for x, we can determine the corresponding y values and plot the points on the graph. With practice, we can become proficient in graphing quadratic functions and interpreting their properties.

Staff Review
In this lesson, you will learn to take a quadratic equation in standard form and find the axis of symmetry, vertex point, max / min value, x-intercepts, y-intercept, domain, range, and determine whether the parabola will open up or down and be steep or wide. All steps required to determine these characteristics of the graph are shown and explained.
