This example demonstrates the standard form of a parabola. It involves core concepts of quadratic functions, and by adjusting parameters a, b, and c, the direction of opening, axis of symmetry, and vertex of the parabola can be changed. The construction summary uses GeoGebra objects a, b, c, d, and text objects. Suitable for high school mathematics education and students learning quadratic functions.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Numeric a(0.65)
  2. Numeric b(-2.25)
  3. Numeric c(-4)
  4. y = (a * x^(2)) + (b * x) + c
