Front

What is the maximum or minimum value of a quadratic function?

Back

The maximum or minimum value occurs at the vertex. If the parabola opens upwards, it has a minimum; if it opens downwards, it has a maximum.

How do you convert a quadratic function from standard form to vertex form?

Back

To convert from standard form to vertex form, complete the square on the quadratic expression.

Front

What is the axis of symmetry in relation to the vertex?

Back

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex of the parabola.
