What does the value of 'a' in a quadratic equation indicate about the parabola?

Back

If 'a' is positive, the parabola opens upwards; if 'a' is negative, it opens downwards.

What is the significance of the vertex in a parabola?

Back

The vertex is the highest or lowest point of the parabola, depending on its orientation.
