Quadratic Functions

Topics for Today:

Quadratic functions are still the topic of the day.  Today we worked with the axis of symmetry and used it to find our vertex.  Because parabolas are symmetric, we are able to find points on one side of the axis of symmetry and reflect them to the other side of the axis of symmetry.  Once we have the vertex, and a few points on either side of the axis of symmetry, we can easily draw our parabola.
