Analyzing Graphs of Quadratic Functions

There are two parabolas below. The equation of the red parabola is written in intercept form and the equation of the blue parabola is written in vertex form.

Sorry, the GeoGebra Applet could not be started. Please make sure that Java 1.4.2 (or later) is installed and activated. (click here to install Java now)

Click on the parabola worksheet to start. Then you can move the sliders to change the parameters and the graphs. Explore the relationships between the forms of the functions and the graphs.
