Attributes of a Quadratic Function

What is the arrow pointing at? How can you use this value to determine the minimum/maximum values?

• The arrow is pointing at the y-intercept. The y value of this point is equivalent to the maximum/minimum

• The arrow is pointing at the vertex. The x value of this point is equivalent to the maximum/minimum

• The arrow is pointing at the solution. The y value of this point is equivalent to the maximum/ minimum

• The arrow is pointing at the vertex. The y value is equivalent to the minimum/maximum

True or false:
The solution, root, x-intercept, and zero of a problem are all the same thing.

• True
• False, because the solution and root are the same but the x-intercept and zero are different
• False, because the x-intercept and root are the same but the zero and solution are different
• False, they are all different

Use the graph of the function

f(x) = -2x² + 4x + 6 to find the solution(s).

• x=3

• x = -1

  and

  x = 3

  and

  x = 8

Does this graph have a maximum or minimum value?

• maximum

Find the axis of symmetry of
f(x)= -2x² - 16x + 3.

• x= 4
• x=-4
• y= 4
• y=-4

Does the graph of y = 3x² - 2 have a minimum or a maximum?

• Minimum

• Maximum

• Neither

• Both a minimum and a maximum

What are the
x-intercepts?
