What does the vertex tell you?
The vertex of a parabola represents the highest or lowest point of the graph, depending on its orientation. In a quadratic function, it indicates the maximum or minimum value of the function. Additionally, the vertex provides the coordinates that serve as a pivotal point for graphing the parabola. Overall, it plays a crucial role in understanding the function's behavior and properties.
What The equation y ax2 describes a parabola. If the value of a is positive which way does the parabola open?
If the value of ( a ) in the equation ( y = ax^2 ) is positive, the parabola opens upwards. This means that the vertex of the parabola is the lowest point, and as you move away from the vertex in either direction along the x-axis, the value of ( y ) increases. Conversely, if ( a ) were negative, the parabola would open downwards.
To find the value of a in a parabola opening up or down, subtract the y-value of the parabola at the vertex from the y-value of the point on the parabola that is one unit to the of the vertex?

What is the vertex of a parabola that opens down called?
The vertex of a parabola that opens down is called the maximum point. This point represents the highest value of the function described by the parabola, as the graph decreases on either side of the vertex. In a quadratic equation of the form (y = ax^2 + bx + c) where (a < 0), the vertex can be found using the formula (x = -\frac{b}{2a}). The corresponding (y)-value can then be calculated to determine the vertex's coordinates.

How do you know if a parabola has a minimum or maximum value?
When you look at the parabola if it opens downwards then the parabola has a maximum value (because it is the highest point on the graph) if it opens upward then the parabola has a minimum value (because it's the lowest possible point on the graph)
What is the vertex of a parabola that opens down called?
The vertex of a parabola that opens down is called the maximum point. This point represents the highest value of the function described by the parabola, as the graph decreases on either side of the vertex.

The corresponding (y)-value can then be calculated to determine the vertex's coordinates.

What is a quadratic equation in vertex form for a parabola with vertex (11 -6)?
A quadratic equation in vertex form is expressed as ( y = a(x - h)^2 + k ), where ((h, k)) is the vertex of the parabola. For a parabola with vertex at ((11, -6)), the equation becomes ( y = a(x - 11)^2 - 6 ). The value of (a) determines the direction and width of the parabola. Without additional information about the parabola's shape, (a) can be any non-zero constant.
