Investigate the significance of the coefficients a, b and c in the quadratic function
1. Drag the c slider. How does it change the graph?
Can c be found somewhere on the graph?
Try with different values of a and b.
2. Drag the a slider. How does it change the graph?
Is there a pattern in how a changes the graph?
Try with different values of b and c.
3. Turn on the tangent (tick mark)
Drag the b slider. What happens?
Find the connection to the tangent slope.
