What is the maximum number and the minimum number of intercepts for a parabola?
there can be 0, 1, 2, or infinite intercepts for a parabola 0 intercepts occurs when the parabola does not meet the 2nd line 1 occurs when the parabola intersects a line at the vertex 2 occurs when the line does not intersect at the vertex, but still intersects the parabola infinite occurs when there are 2 parabolas, that although they may be written differently, are the same on a graph.
What is the relationship of a vertex to a parabola?
The vertex is either the minimum (very bottom) or maximum (very top) of a parabola.
What is maximum or minimum of a parabola depending on whether the parabola opens up or down?
Vertex
Where is the vertex of a parabola?
when the function is in vertex form: y = a(x - h)2 + k, the point (h, k) is the vertex.
What is the vertex of the parabola y equals x2 plus 8x plus 5?
The vertex has a minimum value of (-4, -11)
What do you call the maximum or the minimum of a parabola?
A parabola's maximum or minimum is its vertex.

What is the extreme point called on a parabola?
The vertex, or maximum, or minimum.

Vertex
When a parabola opens upward the y coordinate of the vertex is a what?
Opening up, the vertex is a minimum.
What is the vertex for the parabola y equals x squared plus 4x plus 5?
The vertex of a parabola is the minimum or maximum value of the parabola. To find the maximum/minimum of a parabola complete the square: x² + 4x + 5 = x² + 4x + 4 - 4 + 5 = (x² + 4x + 4) + (-4 + 5) = (x + 2)² + 1 As (x + 2)² is greater than or equal to 0, the minimum value (vertex) occurs when this is zero, ie (x + 2)² = 0 → x + 2 = 0 → x = -2 As (x + 2)² = 0, the minimum value is 0 + 1 = 1. Thus the vertex of the parabola is at (-2, 1).

Parts of a parabola?
There's the vertex (turning point), axis of symmetry, the roots, the maximum or minimum, and of course the parabola which is the curve.
What different information do you get from vertex form and quadratic equation in standard form?
The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. If you put the equation (or function) into vertex form, you can read off the coordinates of the vertex, and you know the shape and orientation (up/down) of the parabola.
What is the vertex of the parabola y equals x2 plus 8x plus 5?
The vertex has a minimum value of (-4, -11)
How is the x-value of the vertex of a parabola related to the zeros of the function?
For a parabola in a normal position ... with its nose either straight up or straight down ... the x-value of the vertex is midway between the zeros of the function, i.e. their average.
