• y-value of vertex, 9 seconds

• y-intercept, 0 seconds

• x-intercept, 3.8 seconds

How high was the ball when it was thrown? Choose the key feature and the answer.

• y-intercept, 0 feet

• y-intercept, 3 feet

• x-value of the vertex, 4

• y-value of the vertex 5

What was the maximum height of the water? Choose the key feature and the answer.

• y-intercept, 0 feet

• x-value of the vertex, 2 feet

• y-value of the vertex 10 feet

• x-intercept. 3.85 feet

What was the height of the water at 3 seconds?

What key feature tells the initial height of the roller coaster?

• y-intercept

• x-intercept

• axis of symmetry

• vertex

What key feature tells the lowest point on the roller coaster?

• y-intercept

• vertex

• Axis of Symmetry

• x-intercept

What is the sign of the "a" value for this graph?

• positive

• Negative

Does this scenario have a max or a min?

• Max

• Min

What is the equation for the axis of symmetry?

• x = b / 2

• x = 2a / -b

• x = 2 / b

• x = -b / 2a

How do I find the y-value of the vertex?

• factor

• x = -b / 2a gives you the y-value of the vertex

• find x = -b / 2a and then plug in for x and solve for y.

• find -b / 2a and then plug in for y and solve for x.
