Parts of a Parabola in Standard From

This video tutorial explains how to identify the parts of a parabola using a quadratic equation in standard form. It covers the significance of the coefficients A, B, and C, and how they determine the parabola's opening, axis of symmetry, vertex, and intercepts. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for calculating these features, emphasizing the importance of understanding the graph's behavior. The video also demonstrates solving for X and Y intercepts using factoring and the quadratic formula.

What does it mean for a parabola to have an absolute minimum or maximum point?

What is the relationship between the vertex and the direction in which the parabola opens?

How do you calculate the Y coordinate of the vertex once you have the X coordinate?

Explain the process of using the quadratic formula to find the X intercepts.
