Axis of Symmetry (Line of Symmetry) LOS: Parts of a Parabola Axis of Symmetry (Line of Symmetry) LOS: The line that divides the parabola into two parts that are mirror images of each other. Vertex: Either the lowest or highest point.

Let’s look at a transformation What is the vertex, max or min, and los?

Vertex Form:

Let’s look at a transformation What is the vertex, max or min, and los?

Vertex Form:

Let’s look at a transformation What is the vertex, max or min, and los?

Vertex Form:

Finding the Vertex and los on the GDC Put equation into y1. Press Zoom 6 – fix if necessary by changing the window. Press 2nd Trace (Calc). Press max/min. Left of it; Then right of it; Then ENTER.

Let’s Try It…. Find the vertex, min, and los.

Use your GDC to find the zeros (x-intercepts)…. Press 2nd Trace (Calc) Press zero. Again, to the left, to the right, ENTER.

Find the zeros for the last example.

Example: Find the vertex, los, max/min, zeros, and tell whether concave up or concave down.

Example: Find the vertex, los, max/min, zeros, and tell whether concave up or concave down. These are the solutions. What are the x-intercepts?

Example: Find the vertex, los, max/min, zeros, and tell whether concave up or concave down. These are the solutions. What are the x-intercepts?

Example Find the vertex, los, max/min, zeros, and tell whether concave up or concave down.

Example: Find the vertex, los, max/min, zeros, and tell whether concave up or concave down.

Example: Find the vertex, los, max/min, zeros, and tell whether concave up or concave down.

How do I know if it is concave up or down just by looking at the function? In the following examples, state whether the parabola is concave up or down and whether the vertex is a max or a min by just looking at the function.
