Graphing Quadratics – H & K ()

The simplest quadratic function is . Sometimes it is referred to as a ______-shaped curve. Its graph is a parabola. The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the parabola exactly in half. The vertex of the parabola is the point at which the graph intersects the axis of symmetry. The vertex of the graph of a quadratic function is either the maximum (highest) point when the graph opens ______or the minimum (lowest) point when the graph opens ______.
