The most basic quadratic is y = x2. The general technique for graphing quadratics is the same as for graphing linear equations. The quadratics graph as curvy lines (called "parabolas"), rather than the straight lines generated by linear...

The resource discusses quadratic functions. Topics examined are parabolas, the vertex, the axis of symmetry, and standard form.

This reference material introduces the terms and equations related to parabolas in the context of conics. Also, relates concepts to previously-learned material and shows how to 'read' from the 'conics' form of the parabola equation.

Detailed math tutorial features notes and examples that investigate the process for graphing parabolas.
