👉 Learn how to identify the vertex of a parabola by completing the square. A parabola is the shape of the graph of a quadratic equation. A quadratic equation can be written in the standard form (i.e.

\(y = x^2 + a\) represents a translation parallel to the \(y\)-axis of the graph of \(y = x^2\). If \(a\) is positive, the graph translates upwards. If \(a\) is negative, the graph translates ...

A translation is a movement of the graph either horizontally parallel to the \(x\)-axis or vertically parallel to the \(y\)-axis. The graph of \(y = f(x)\) where \(f(x) = x^2\) is the same as the ...
