What is the significance of the vertex in a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex represents the highest or lowest point of the parabola, depending on whether it opens upwards or downwards.

Front

What does the 'a' value in the vertex form indicate about the parabola?

Back

The 'a' value indicates the direction of the parabola (upward if positive, downward if negative) and its width (larger absolute value means narrower).
