Description
๐ Explore
Explore how the coefficients and forms of a quadratic equation shape its parabola.
๐ฎ Try It
Adjust a, b and c in Explore mode, then compare Standard Form, Vertex Form and Focus & Directrix. Show the vertex, axis of symmetry and roots to connect each equation with its graph.
๐ฏ Your Mission
Create two different quadratic equations with the same vertex, then compare their graphs using the vertex and symmetry displays.
๐ Real-World Connection
Quadratic graphs model the paths of thrown objects and the shapes of parabolic reflectors.
