Hi! 👋 Ask me anything about quadratic functions and parabolas.
Why does the graph become a smile or sad face?
Great question! The value of a controls the direction. If a is positive, the parabola opens upward like a smile. If a is negative, it opens downward like a sad face.
What is the turning point?
The turning point is where the graph changes direction. It can be the lowest point for a smile-shaped parabola, or the highest point for a sad-face parabola.

Quick Revision Summary

Simple key points for exam revision and memory reinforcement.

1. Basic Equation

A quadratic function is usually written as y = ax² + bx + c.

2. Value of a

a controls whether the graph opens upward or downward, and whether the curve is narrow or wide.

3. Turning Point

The turning point is where the graph changes direction. It can be a minimum or maximum point.

4. Intercepts

The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. x-intercepts are where the graph crosses the x-axis.
