Take Note: Define parabola. Also, sketch a parabola on the canvas.
You may also complete your work on paper or on a whiteboard and upload a clear picture of it to the canvas.
Problem 1 Got It? What is the graph of the function? Complete a table of values and graph the function on the canvas. Use colors other than black.
Hint: consider choosing values of x for your table that cancel out the fraction when multiplied. x = 0, 3, and -3 work well.

Take Note: Define minimum value (of a parabola). Be sure to indicate whether the x-coordinate or the y-coordinate represents the minimum value.
Take Note: Define maximum value (of a parabola). Be sure to indicate whether the x-coordinate or the y-coordinate represents the maximum value.
Take Note: Describe why it is not possible for a parabola to have both a maximum value and a minimum value.
Problem 2 Got It? Graph the function on the canvas. Complete this item without Desmos or a graphing calculator. Consider that it is simply a translation of the parent function. You may then check your work at Desmos.
Include relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units and scale on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior as appropriate.

Take Note: Define quadratic function.
Take Note: The standard form of a quadratic function is as follows:
(Note that a ≠ 0)
One strategy to associate this form with the name standard is to consider the a-b-c pattern it contains.
Another form, vertex form, is so named because it reveals the vertex of the parabola it creates when graphed.
Write the general vertex form of a quadratic function in the response field (assume that a ≠ 0).
HINT: Your equation should include f(x), a, x, h, and k.
Take Note: Define axis of symmetry of a parabola. Also, sketch and label the axis of symmetry of the parabola on the canvas using a contrasting color.
