Graphing a Quadratic Function in Standard Form

Step-by-step process to find the axis of symmetry, vertex, y-intercept, and a few more strategic points to graph the parabola through 4 different quadratic function examples. Each quadratic is in standard from, y=ax^2+bx+c. Remember x=-b/(2a) is how the process starts! The four quadratic graphs range in difficulty from easy to medium+, where the leading coefficient is a decimal. I also outline a popular technique with my students: a 1-1, 2-4, 3-9 trick to easily graph a perfect x^2 or -x^2 quadratic parabola graph. Graphing a quadratic function equation can be a simple step-by-step process, so I hope this thorough video helps you get the hand of it!
