Characteristics of Quadratic Functions

Quadratic equations take the shape of a _______ when graphed.

• U
• straight line
• wavey line/snaked
• circle/elliptical

What is the axis of symmetry?

• the slope of the graph
• the dividing line for a parabola
• a way to spin my pencil
• the x-axis

What is another word for zeros?

• y-intercepts
• roots
• vertex
• axis of symmetry

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

What are the x- intercepts?

• x= 0 and x= -4
• x= 0 and x= 4
• y= 0
• x= 2

• 3
• 2
• 0
• 1

How many solutions does this graph have?
