Analyze the second function $$y = \frac{1}{4}x^2$$ and fill in the table and answer the questions.

Analysis of the function $$y = \frac{1}{4}x^2$$

• The function is quadratic, and its graph is a parabola.
• The coefficient $$a = \frac{1}{4}$$. Since $$a > 0$$, the branches of the parabola are directed upwards.
• The vertex of the parabola is at the point (0, 0).
• The axis of symmetry of the parabola is $$x = 0$$.
