College Algebra · Module 7 · Quadratic functions and equations

Quadratics Lab

Drive a parabola with sliders and watch its vertex, axis, roots and discriminant change, solve unlimited quadratic problems with worked solutions, race the clock matching parabolas to equations, and use quadratics on real-life problems. Nothing here is graded.

Part 1: Parabola Explorer

Move the sliders, or focus one and use the arrow keys. The grid runs from −10 to 10. Switch between standard form (a, b, c) and vertex form (a, h, k): the parabola stays where it is, only the controls change.
