Algebra 1 - Defining Quadratic Functions & their Graphical Attributes

In this lesson I define Quadratic Functions in the form of y=ax^2+bx+c, identify the vertex, and graph a parabola using a t-table. I also discuss the definition of a Polynomial and Degree. We then identify Increasing and Decreasing Intervals, Domain and Range, End Behavior, and Absolute Maximum and Absolute Minimum Graphing a Parabola with a t-table at 14:40 Identifying Graphical Attributes at 24:56 Some of my other lessons involving Parabolas Graphing Parabolas in Standard Form https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icfex6aaWVk Graphing Parabolas w/ Vertex & Intercepts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFZOnAcuVLM Parabola Applications Maximizing Minimizing Reflectors, etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka2DpW7A9iQ Applications of Parabolas in Standard Form https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZbrlvcd94E Optimization Calculus Problems Minimizing Lengths https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDoW2euBcfk Negative Exponents and Power of Zero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Coy_n9cA3iE Check out www.ProfRobBob.com, there you will find my lessons organized by class/subject and then by topics within each class.
