Hwk #24 is due today.

The remainder of the period we began our discussion on Sec 10-1, Exploring Quadratic Graphs.  We covered some of the basic vocabulary used when referring to Quadratic Functions and their graphs.  Students used a graphing calculator to explore the graph of y=ax^2+c and how changing the values of a and c affect the graph.
