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

Back

The 'a' value indicates the direction of the parabola: if 'a' is positive, the parabola opens upwards; if 'a' is negative, it opens downwards.

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

Back

The vertex represents the maximum or minimum point of the parabola, depending on the direction it opens.

What is the effect of changing the 'k' value in the vertex form?

Back

Changing the 'k' value shifts the parabola up or down on the graph.
