What are quadratics?

Yesterday we took a sneak peak into what we will be talking about. A quadratic function is a special type of function in which the graph is always a parabola (the shape of the letter "u").

Learning Targets

I can identify a quadratic function in both equation and graph form.
I can identify the axis of symmetry and the vertex of a quadratic function.
