A friend is taking me up on my offer to help with algebra homework.

Heads up for tomorrow's test... finding the vortex.

Algebra covers "vortex"?

Isn't that the high/low point on a parabola?

Can't remember for sure - It's been 10 years since I did this, but you might be using different terminology over there (after all - you do for everything else ;-)

parabolas are not the only things with verticies...

elipses (has 2)
hyperbola (has 2)
elipsoid (has 2)

and I'm sure there are more...

(I'm still a math major...wahoo!)
