How do you graph parabola given its vertex?
The vertex of a parabola doe not provide enough information to graph anything - other than the vertex!
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.
Does a parabola always have 2 x intercepts?
No, if the vertex of the parabola is (0, 0) it will only have one x intercept. The parabola might have zero x intercepts as well. For example: Y= x^2 + 1 would never touch the x line.
How are the vertices of the parabolas related to the equation of the quadratic function?
Suppose the equation of the parabola is y = ax2 + bx + c where a, b, and c are constants, and a ≠0. The roots of the parabola are given by x = [-b ± sqrt(D)]/2a where D is the discriminant. Rather than solve explicitly for the coordinates of the vertex, note that the vertical line through the vertex is an axis of symmetry for the parabola. The two roots are symmetrical about x = -b/2a so, whatever the value of D and whether or not the parabola has real roots, the x coordinate of the vertex is -b/2a. It is simplest to substitute this value for x in the equation of the parabola to find the y-coordinate of the vertex, which is c - b2/2a.
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?
right
What is the vertex of a parabola?
the vertex of a parabola is the 2 x-intercepts times-ed and then divided by two (if there is only 1 x-intercept then that is the vertex)
Why is the vertical line that passed through the vertex of a parabola called the axis of symmetry?
K
How do you get a parabola with only one x intercept?
To have a parabola with only one x-intercept, the vertex of the parabola must lie on the x-axis. This means the parabola opens either upwards or downwards, depending on the coefficient of the squared term in the equation. If the coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards, and if it is negative, the parabola opens downwards. By adjusting the coefficients in the equation of the parabola, you can position the vertex such that there is only one x-intercept.
In a formula for a parabola what do h and k stand for?
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.
Find the x intercept or interceptss and the coordinates of the vertex for the parabola x2-4x-12 if there is more than one x intercept separate them with commas?
-2, 6
What the the vertex of a parabola?
The vertex would be the point where both sides of the parabola meet.
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?
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 right of the vertex.

What is the parabola?
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.
What is an equation of the parabola in vertex form that passes through (13 8) and has vertex (3 2).?
please help
The vertex of this parabola is at 3 -2 When the x value is 4 the y value is 3 What is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabolas equation?
Vertex = (3, - 2)Put in vertex form.(X - 3)2 + 2X2 - 6X + 9 + 2 = 0X2 - 6X + 11 = 0=============The coefficeint of the squared term is 1. My TI-84 confirms the (4, 3) intercept of the parabola and the 11 Y intercept shown by the function.
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.
