• top
• bottom

What do we call the graph of a quadratic function?

• parabola
• linear
• cubic

How do you know if a parabola has a minimum?

• When ‘a’ is positive there is a minimum

• When ‘a’ is negative there is a minimum

• When all the numbers in the equation are negative there is a minimum

• When all the numbers in the equation are positive there is a minimum

Determine the solutions of the graph:
