2. The graph of a Quadratic Function (y = ax 2 + bx + c) Parabola:  Opens ______ if a > 0.  Opens ______ if a < 0.  Is __________ than y = ax 2 if | a | > 1.  Is __________ than y = ax 2 if | a | < 1. Minimum/Maximum:  Has _________ if a > 0.  Has _________ if a < 0.

3. The graph of a Quadratic Function (y = ax 2 + bx + c) Axis of symmetry:  The line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola into 2 symmetric parts.  x = ____ Vertex:  (____, ____)  Use axis of symmetry as x-value. Substitue into function to find y-value.

4. (Ex 1) Find the axis of symmetry and the vertex. Consider the function y = -2x 2 + 16x – 15. a) Find the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function.
