Quadratics Practice

If given the equation
y = 3(x + 5)² - 4,
what is the vertex of the parabola?

• (5, -4)
• (-5, -4)
• (-15, -4)
• (15, -4)

What is the equation of this graph?

• f(x) = (x -5)² + 1
• f(x) = (x - 1)² - 5
• f(x) = (x + 1)² - 5
• f(x) = (x + 5)² +1

Identify the vertex and whether the graph opens up or down.

• (5, 2); opens up
• (5, 2); opens down
• (-5, 2); opens up
• (-5, 2); opens down

Which of the following is the correct equation for the given graph?

• f(x) = (x - 2)² - 1
• f(x) = (x + 2)² - 1
• f(x) = -(x + 2)² - 1
• f(x) = -(x - 2)² - 1

If red represents y = x², which equation represents blue?

• y = 2x²
• y = -2x²
• y = -x²
• y = (x - 1)²

If the blue graph is

f(x) = x²

then the red must be...

• g(x) = x² - 5

• g(x) = x² + 5

• g(x) = (x - 5)²

• g(x) = (x + 5)²

If the blue graph is
f(x) = x² 
the red must be...

• g(x) = (x + 3)²
• g(x) = (x - 3)²
• g(x) = x² + 3
• g(x) = x² - 2

Which of the following equations shows the vertex form of a quadratic?

• y = mx + b

• y = a(x - p)(x - q)

• y = ax² + bx + c

• y = a(x - h)² + k

Which of the following is the correct equation for the given graph?

• f(x) = -(x + 2)² - 4
• f(x) = -(x - 2)² - 4
• f(x) = -3(x - 2)² - 4
• f(x) = -3(x + 2)² - 4

What causes the graph of y = x² to open downward?

• multiply the x² by a fraction
• multiply the x² by a decimal
• multiply the x² by a negative number
• multiply the x² by a number greater than 1
