This activity explores how the vertex of a parabola shifts when the coefficients of its standard form change. Key concepts include parabolas, quadratic equations, and quadratic functions. By adjusting coefficients a, b, and c, you can observe the vertex's movement and use the locus command to understand its path. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning about quadratic function transformations.
