1. The turning point is the vertex​

2. Concave up is when a parabola looks like a smile.
  • HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S CONCAVE UP?
    • It's concave up because in your equation, if there is no negative sign in front of your equation, your parabola's vertex is going to be close to the x-axis and going upwards.
Picture

3. Concave down is when a parabola looks like a frown.
  • HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S CONCAVE DOWN:
    • ​It's concave down because in your equation, if you have a negative sign in front of your equation, it immediately does the opposite of what a positive does and flips your parabola upside down. Your vertex is going to be close to the x-axis and going downwards.
Picture

4. How to make a parabola wider
  • PARABOLA WIDER:
    • ​To make a parabola wider, you either add a decimal in front of your equation or behind, and it creates a wider parabola.
Picture
  • MAKING A PARABOLA SLIMMER
    • ​To make a parabola slimmer, you add a whole number in front of your equation or behind it, and it creates a slimmer parabola.
Picture

5. Adding and subtracting changes the way the parabola moves to, either, the right or left.
  • PARABOLA TO THE RIGHT:
    • ​If you want your parabola to move to the right, in your equation, you have to place a subtracting symbol.
Picture
  • PARABOLA TO THE LEFT:
    • ​If you want your parabola to move to the left, you need to have an adding symbol into your equation.
Picture

6. What a, h, and k mean in an equation when substituted instead of numbers.
  • A:
    • ​When working with the variable a in this equation, a basically tells you whether your parabola is going to be wide or thin.
  • H:
    • ​When working with the variable h in this equation, h basically tells you whether your parabola is going left or right.
  • K:
    • ​When working with the variable k in this equation, k basically tells you whether your parabola is going up or down.
