Your Task:
Complete 8-43!  You need to read this problem COMPLETELY!  After you are assigned a parabola.  You must study the parabola in depth.

  • Does your parabola have any symmetry?  Search Symmetry to find details.  If it does, where would the fold be?  Do you think this works for all parabolas?  Why or Why not?
  • Is there a highest or lowest point on the graph of your parabola?  If so, where is it?  The point is called a vertex.  Search vertex to find details.  Describe the parabola.
  • Are there any special points on your parabola?  Which points do you think are important?  Are there any special points that you expected but do not exist for your parabola?
  • How would you describe the shape of your parabola?  Is it pointing up or down?  Do the sides go straight up or down?  
  • Anything else you want to describe about it?
Your Choices:
  • Pic Collage
  • PhotoWall
  • Phoster
  • Photo Mess
  • Pic Stitch (Will need another app to create text into photos)
