quadratic formula

Which is the vertex of y = x²+ 16x + 71 ?

• V(-8, 7)

• V(-8, 3)

• V(8, 10)

• V(16, -2)

Find the y-intercept y = x² - 6x + 5

• (0, 8)

• (0, - 6)

• (5, 0)

• (0, 5)

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 do we call the graph of a quadratic function?

• parabola
• linear
• cubic
• sinusoidal

What is the vertex of this parabola?

• (−1, 3)

How can you tell whether a parabola opens up or opens down by looking at the equation?

• The vertex tells you the direction of the opening

• The value of "a" tells you the direction of the opening.

• All parabolas open upward

• All parabolas open downward
