How do you find
---------------------------------
the axis of symmetry: x = -b/2a
---------------------------------
the vertex point: (-b/2a , f(-b/2a))
---------------------------------
the y intercept: Let x = 0 and solve for y.
-------------------------------------------------
the zeros to graph a parabola: Let y = 0 and solve for x.
