Quadratic Equations and Parabola
ParabolaA parabola is a curve where any point is at an equal distance from a fixed point (the focus and a fixed straight line (the directrix).

• the directrix and focus
• the axis of symmetry (goes through the focus, at right angles to the directrix)
• the vertex (where the parabola makes its sharpest turn) is halfway between the focus and directrix.

EquationsStandard form:
Vertex form
GraphingSteps:a. Identify the orientation
If a is positive, then the parabola opens upward.If a is negative, then the parabola opens downward.Example: opens upward opens downward
GraphingSteps:b. Find the vertex

GraphingSteps:c. Find the -intercept
d. Find the -intercept
e. Find other coordinates
f. Find the axis of symmetry
g. Plot the points
