This example demonstrates how to graph a parabola and find its axis of symmetry using GeoGebra, covering both standard and factored forms. Key math concepts include parabola equations, symmetry, vertex, extremum, and coordinate geometry. GeoGebra commands used are Extremum, Line, Intersect, and LaTeX, with objects like a, b, c, f, A, etc. Suitable for high school students and teachers.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Extremum(f) → A
  2. Line(A, yAxis) → d
  3. Intersect(d, xAxis) → B
  4. Intersect(f, xAxis) → C, D
  5. LaTeX(f, true, true) → text1
  6. Intersect(g, xAxis) → E, F
  7. Extremum(g) → G
  8. Line(G, yAxis) → h
  9. LaTeX(g, true, true) → text3
