Does this graph in the back have maximum or minimum value?

• maximum
• minimum
• neither
• both

What is the axis of symmetry for the following equation?
y=4x²-8x+9

• x=-8
• x=1
• x=-1
• x=2

What are the x-intercepts(roots/zeros) of the function

f(x)= (x - 2)(x + 3)?

• x = - 2 or x = 3

• x = 2 or x = -3

• The are no real roots

• x = 2 or x = 3

What is the range of this function?

• y < -2

• y < -2

A parabola has a vertex at (-3,2). Where is the axis of symmetry?

• y = -2
• x = 3
• x = -3
• y = 2

Solve by factoring: x² - 9x + 20 = 0

• x = -4 and x = -5
• x = 20 and x = -9
• x = 4 and x = 5
• x = -4 and x = 5

Using quadratic formula find the roots of the following equation:

7x² - 26x - 8 = 0

• x = -1 and x = -7/8

• x = 4 and x = -2/7

• x = -4 and x = 2/7

• x = 4 and x = -7/2

What should you do first in solving this equation?
x² + 6x - 13 = 3

• Get factored form
• Write down: a=1, b=6, c=-13
• Make the equation equal 0 by subtracting 3 on each side
• Type it all in a calculator.

An object in launched directly upward at 64 feet per second (ft/s) from a platform 80 feet high. Its height is represented by the equation

s(t) = –16t² + 64t + 80

What will be the object's maximum height?

• 2 ft

• 80 ft

• 144 ft

• 64 ft

You jump off a 24 foot high cliff and your fall is modeled by the function:

h(t) = -16t² + 8t + 24

How long would it take you to hit the water?

• 8 seconds

• 1 second

• 1.5 seconds

• 1/4 second
