Exploring Quadratic Functions in Vertex Form Using Sliders

Open a new Graph Window and create two sliders.

As you create them, the sliders are stacked atop one another.

Move one of the sliders so that the two are next to each other.

Change the settings on the sliders as shown.

Input the generic equation for a quadratic function in vertex form and graph it.

Manipulate each of the sliders to see its effect on the graph.
