Graphing from Standard Form Quadratics

Find the vertex of 
f(x) = -x² - 4x + 12.

• (-2, 16)
• (2, 0)
• (2, 4)
• (-2, 4)

What is the vertex of the graph?

• (2, 4)
• (3, -1)
• (0, 8)
• (4, 2)

In order to graph a quadratic equation in standard form, the first two steps are to use the equation _____ to find the axis of symmetry, and then you can plug that value back into the equation to find the _____.

• -b/2a, vertex
• (x-h)^2, y-intercept
  
• (x-r1), solution
• ax^2, vertex

True or false:
The solution, root, x-intercept, and zero of a problem 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
