23.3 The Three Essentials: Vertex, Axis, and Opening
Point 5 of 6
23.3.5 Rising, Falling, and the Overall Trend
Core ideaThe axis splits the curve into a downhill side and an uphill side, and past the vertex the function flips from falling to rising (or rising to falling).
Module goal. Move from vertex form to the general form, and master how to find the three geometric essentials along with the graph's properties.
