Key Features of Quadratic Equations

What is the significance of the ordered pair (3, 0) to the graph?

• It is the maximum point

• It is the vertex

• It is the y-intercept

• It is an x-intercept

State the domain and range.

• Domain: All real numbers, Range: y ≥ -9

• Domain: All real numbers, Range: All real numbers

• Domain: x ≥ -8, Range: y ≥ -9

• Domain: x ≥ -8, Range: All real numbers

Which of the statements about the graph is FALSE?

• The vertex is a maximum

• There are two zeros at x = -3 and x = 3

• The y-intercept is (0, 18)

• The range is y ≥ 18

What are the zeros of the function? Choose all that apply.

• x = 0

• x = -3

• x = -6

• y = 18

Which function has an axis of symmetry of x = 0?

• 
• 
• 
• None of the above

Define Zero

• Where the parabola touches or intersects the x- axis, also called the x-intercept

• A line that divides the graph into two equal parts. i.e. cuts the graph in half

• The highest or lowest point on the graph

• Where the parabola touches or intersects the y-axis

Which statement about the graph is FALSE?

• The vertex is (-3, 18)

• The vertex is a maximum

• The y-intercept is y = 0

• The axis of symmetry is y = -3

• concave up 

• concave down
