What makes a figure a polygon? Does it have three or more sides? Is it a closed figure? If the answer is yes to both of those questions then it's a polygon. But wait! Some of these polygons have special names based on the number of sides...

One base, triangular sides, and defined polygons are all parts of what make up a pyramid. Check out this video and see the instructor draw pictures of a variety of pyramids. She identifies the specific parts and gives them names based on...

Translating the graph of an absolute value equation horizontally based on the value of a constant, seems to be a big task. That sentence was a mouthful. So what does it all mean? Click on this video to observe the instructor illustrate...

Watch this video and find out how to graph a quadratic equation when it's in intercept form! After going through the different forms of quadratic equations, an instructor leads viewers through an example problem. For the example problem,...

Making a table for a quadratic function is not so complicated. Here are a few tricks to make it easier. One trick is to find the axis of symmetry and another is to find the vertex. These two values can be used to pick values to plug in...

The form of a quadratic function can help you determine if the vertex of a quadratic equation will be a minimum or a maximum of the function. If the coefficient of 'a' in the quadratic form of the equation is positive the vertex will be...

Trying to find the vertex of a quadratic equation? Remember that the vertex is the minimum or maximum point of the quadratic equation and can be identified on a graph of the equation. First use the axis of symmetry formula to find the...

What do you get when you graph a quadratic function? Not a line, that's the graph of a linear equation. The graph of a quadratic function is a curved line, either opening upward like a smile, or opening downward like a frown. The...

What things need to be done to graph a quadratic function? Well, first, find the axis of symmetry, then find the vertex of the parabola, then create a table and plug in some x-values to get the resulting y-values. Now write the values as...

There are many ways to solve a quadratic equation. Let's check out how to solve a quadratic equation by graphing. But first, let's find the axis of symmetry and the vertex before making a table of values. Write the values as ordered...

This clip covers a lot of ground and is perfect for those needing a little extra help remembering how to graph a quadratic function. It begins with a multi-step problem which requires the learner to graph a quadratic function, set up a...

This lesson shows how to determine the equation for the axis of symmetry of a parabola on a graph. It is 4 of 8 in the series titled "Finding the Axis of Symmetry of a Parabola."

Video defining the vertex and axis of symmetry for a parabola. Vertex is found for a specific function by completing the square to change the equation from standard form to vertex form and then reasoning through the equation. Axis of...
