Quadratics

Which of the following equations matches standard form of a quadratic?

• ax + by = c
• y = a(x - h)² + k
• y = ax² + bx + c
• y = mx + b

What is another word for zeros?

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

True or false:
The solutions, roots, x-intercepts, and zeros of a quadratic equation 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

Does the following quadratic equation have a maximum or minimum value? How can you tell?
y=x²+2x-3

• Minimum value, because the a value is positive
• Maximum value, because the b value is positive
• Maximum value, because the a value is positive
• Minimum value, because the c value is negative
