y = ax² + bx + c is

• a quadratic equation in vertex form
• a linear equation in vertex form.
• a quadratic equation in standard form.
• a linear equation in standard form.

Given: y = 2(x - 5)² + 6, the vertex is

• (2,-5)

• (-5,6)

• (2,6)

• (5,6)

Given: 1/2(x + 4)² - 5, the equation of the axis of symmetry is

• y = 4

• x = -4

• x = 4

• x = -5

What are the zeros/roots/solutions of the function

x² + 3?

• There are none. It does not cross the x-axis

• (-1,0) and (1,0)

• (0, -1) and (0, 1)
