The axis of symmetry is located directly between the roots
the dotted red line on this graph is the axis of symmetry

vertex
the vertex can be the minimum of maximum point of a parabola
the vertex is the point where there is a change in the parabola and table
the vertex is shown above
vertex form is y=a(x-h)^2+k

parabola
a parabola is a graph of a quadratic equation
An arch equal distance from the focus and directrix

minimum
the lowest point of a parabola
this identifies that the parabola is positive
this can identify the vertex

The point where the parabola intersects the x- axis
same as the roots of a quadratic
zeros of the function
ax^2+bx^2+cx^2=0
(x+2)(x+2)=0
graph to find the point where the x-value becomes zero
the point where the value is equal to zero
ax^2+bx^2+c^2=0
(x+4)(x+3)=0
roots of the equation
same as the x intercept the point intersecting the x axis
y=ax^2+bx+c
y=x^2+12x+36
y=(x+6)(x+6)
roots= x+6=0 x+6=0
roots= x=-6 x=-6
end behavior
the behavior of f(x) with x going towards positive or negative
determined by the coefficent and the number the value is squared by
the behavior of f(x) as x approaches positive or negative
