The vertex of a parabola doe not provide enough information to graph anything - other than the vertex!
The graph is a parabola facing (opening) upwards with the vertex at the origin.
Change it from positive to negative
It is a parabola with its vertex at the origin and the arms going upwards.
The parabola shape is magnified. If you keep the same scale for the graph, the parabola will look wider, more flattened out.
The vertex is the highest or lowest point on a graph.

In the formula for calculating a parabola the letters h and k stand for the location of the vertex of the parabola. The h is the horizontal place of the vertex on a graph and the k is the vertical place on a graph.
it will form a parabola on the graph with the vertex at point (0,0) and points at (1,1), (-1,1), (2,4), (-2,4)......

A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.

A parabola is a type of graph that is not linear, and mostly curved. A parabola has the "x squared" sign in it's equation. A parabola is not only curved, but all the symmetrical. The symmetrical point, the middle of the parabola is called the vertex. You can graph this graph with the vertex, x-intercepts and a y-intercept. A parabola that has a positive x squared would be a smile parabola, and the one with the negative x squared would be a frown parabola. Also, there are the parabolas that are not up or down, but sideways Those parabolas have x=y squared, instead of y = x squared.
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.

Interpreting that function as y=x2+2x+1, the graph of this function would be a parabola that opens upward. It would be equivalent to y=(x+1)2. Its vertex would be at (-1,0) and this vertex would be the parabola's only zero.
