Keys Features of Quadratics

Name the vertex to the given quadratic graph

• (2,3)

• (3,2)

• (0,-1)

• (4,-1)

When did the ball reach its maximum height? Choose the key feature and the answer.

• y-intercept, 3 secs

• x-value of the vertex, 4 secs

• y-value of the vertex, 5 secs

• y-intercept, 0 secs

What was the maximum height of the ball? Choose the key feature and the answer choice.

• y-intercept, 3 feet

• y-intercept, 0 feet

• x-value of the vertex, 4 feet

• y-value of the vertex, 5 feet

How high was the ball when it was thrown? Choose the key feature and the answer.

• y-intercept, 0 feet

• y-intercept, 3 feet

• x-value of the vertex, 4

• y-value of the vertex 5

When did the water reach its maximum height? Choose the key feature and the answer.

• x-value of vertex, 2 seconds

• y-value of vertex, 9 seconds

• y-intercept, 0 seconds

• x-intercept, 3.8 seconds

What was the maximum height of the water? Choose the key feature and the answer.

• y-intercept, 0 feet

• x-value of the vertex, 2 feet

• y-value of the vertex 10 feet

• x-intercept. 3.85 feet

What key feature tells the lowest point on the roller coaster?

• y-intercept

• vertex

• Axis of Symmetry

• x-intercept

Does this scenario have a max or a min?

• Max

• Min

What is the equation for the axis of symmetry?

• x = b / 2

• x = 2a / -b

• x = 2 / b

• x = -b / 2a

How do I find the y-value of the vertex?

• factor

• x = -b / 2a gives you the y-value of the vertex

• find x = -b / 2a and then plug in for x and solve for y.

• find -b / 2a and then plug in for y and solve for x.
