Turning Points of Quadratic Graphs Questions MME

1. The document defines turning points of quadratic graphs as the maximum or minimum points where the graph changes direction. 2. It provides examples of turning points being circled on sample quadratic graphs. Belle states that the turning point is always the minimum point, but this is incorrect as it can also be the maximum point. 3. Methods for finding the turning points of quadratic equations by completing the square are demonstrated. Turning points correspond to the x-value that makes the derivative of the equation equal to zero.
