Graphing Quadratic Functions Part 1

Does the equation open up or down? 
Y = -3x² +7x - 2

• up
• down
• Neither; it opens to the right.
• Neither; it opens to the left.

What is the name of this form:
y = ax² + bx + c

• vertex form
• standard form
• factored form
• zero form

What is the maximum/minimum of a parabola called?

• vertex
• point
• top
• bottom

What do we call the graph of a quadratic function?

• parabola
• linear
• cubic
• sinusoidal

What is the vertex of this parabola?

• (−1, 3)
• (−3, 11)
• (−2, 5)
• (0, 5)

What is the y-intercept of this parabola?

• (−1, 3)
• (−3, 11)
• (−2, 5)
• (0, 5)

Where is the axis of symmetry for this parabola?

• x = −1
• x = 0
• y = 3
• x = −3

What is the formula above primarily used for?

• Finding the axis of symmetry from standard form
• Finding the vertex from standard form
• Finding the vertex from vertex form
• Finding the vertex from standard form

What are the zeros of the parabola? 

• 1, 5
• 3, -5 
• 3, 0
• -6, 1

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
