This math topic focuses on identifying the minimum or maximum y-values of quadratic functions presented in vertex form. Students are expected to analyze various quadratic equations to determine whether they have minimum or maximum values and correctly identify these values based on the functions' structure. This involves understanding the vertex's position and how it represents either the peak or the trough of the parabola shaped by the quadratic equation. The practice provided spans a range of quadratic equations, enhancing skills in interpreting and manipulating the vertex form of these functions.
