Correct Answer
B.Explanation
The quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2. It can be written in the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants. The function y = 2x^2 + 3x - 1 is quadratic because it is a polynomial of degree 2 and can be written in the form f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x - 1.Rate this question:

The vertex of this parabola shows that the __________ value of the function is _____.
- A.
Minimum; 2
- B.
Maximum; 4
- C.
Minimum; 4
- D.

Correct Answer
B. Maximum; 4Explanation
The vertex of a parabola represents the highest or lowest point on the graph. In this case, the vertex is described as a maximum, indicating that the highest value of the function is represented by the vertex. The value of the function at this vertex is given as 4, meaning that the function reaches a maximum value of 4.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements is always true?
- A.
The graph of a quadratic function is a straight line.
- B.
The range of a quadratic function is the set of all real numbers.
- C.
The highest power of the independent variable in a quadratic function is 2.
- D.
The vertex of a parabola occurs at the minimum value of the function.
Correct Answer
C. The highest power of the independent variable in a quadratic function is 2.Explanation
The highest power of the independent variable in a quadratic function is always 2. This is because a quadratic function is defined by an equation of the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where the highest power of x is 2. The coefficient "a" determines the shape and direction of the parabola, and the values of "b" and "c" determine the position of the vertex and the y-intercept. Therefore, regardless of the specific values of a, b, and c, the highest power of the independent variable in a quadratic function will always be 2.Rate this question:

The graph of a quadratic function contains the point (0, 0).
- D.
The axis of symmetry passes through the vertex.
Correct Answer
B. The grapH of a quadratic function that has a maximum opens upward.Explanation
The statement "The graph of a quadratic function that has a maximum opens upward" is never true because a quadratic function with a maximum point opens downward. A quadratic function that opens upward has a minimum point.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A.Explanation
A quadratic function has a maximum if the coefficient of the x^2 term is negative. This is because the graph of a quadratic function with a negative coefficient of x^2 opens downwards, creating a concave shape. The highest point on the graph is the maximum. Therefore, the quadratic function with a negative coefficient of x^2 will have a maximum.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D.Explanation
A quadratic function has a minimum when the coefficient of the squared term is positive. This is because the graph of a quadratic function with a positive coefficient opens upwards, creating a "U" shape, and the lowest point of the graph is the minimum. Therefore, any quadratic function with a positive coefficient for the squared term will have a minimum.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C.Explanation
The function that has zeros shown in the graph is the function that crosses the x-axis at those points. Zeros of a function are the values of x for which the function equals zero. In the graph, the points where the function intersects the x-axis are the zeros of the function. These points indicate the values of x where the function evaluates to zero.Rate this question:

The vertex of this parabola shows that the __________ value of the function is _____.
- A.
Minimum; -5
- B.
Maximum; 1
- C.
Minimum; -9
- D.
Maximum; 2
Correct Answer
C. Minimum; -9Explanation
The vertex of a parabola represents the highest or lowest point on the graph, depending on whether the parabola opens upward or downward. In this case, since the vertex is at a negative value (-9), it indicates that the function has a minimum value. Therefore, the correct answer is "minimum; -9."Rate this question:

Find the axis of symmetry of the parabola with zeros -1 and 6
- A.
X = 1.5
- B.
X = 2
- C.
X = 2.5
- D.
X = 3
Correct Answer
C. X = 2.5Explanation
The axis of symmetry of a parabola is the vertical line that passes through the vertex of the parabola. The vertex is the midpoint between the zeros of the parabola. In this case, the zeros are -1 and 6, so the midpoint is (6 + (-1))/2 = 5/2 = 2.5. Therefore, the axis of symmetry is x = 2.5.Rate this question:

The vertex of a quadratic function is in the second quadrant. The related equation has no real solutions. Which of the following statements is true?
- A.
The graph opens downward.
- B.
The graph opens upward.
- C.
The y-intercept is 0.
- D.
The axis of symmetry is x = 0.
Correct Answer
B. The grapH opens upward.Explanation
If the vertex of a quadratic function is in the second quadrant, it means that the parabola opens upward. This is because the vertex is the lowest point on the graph, and if it is in the second quadrant, it must be above the x-axis. Since the parabola opens upward, it does not intersect the x-axis, indicating that the related equation has no real solutions. Therefore, the correct statement is "The graph opens upward."Rate this question:
