Application of Quadratic Function

What is the vertex for
f(x)=4(x-2)² + 3

• (-2, 3)

• (2,-3)

• (4,3)

• (2,3)

Which equation has a vertex of (-3, 4)?

• y = 2(x+3)² + 4

• y = (x+3)² - 4

• y = (x-3)² + 4

• y = 2(x - 3)² + 4

An object flies through the air and follows a parabolic path. What does the y-axis represent? 

• time 

• height from the ground 

• horizontal distance 

• money 

Answer explanation

This is only one possible choice. As long as the y-intercept is less than 3 and the quadratic shows a maximum value for its vertex, it would be correct.
