Graphing Quadratics Key Attributes

Quadratic function h can be used to model the height in feet of a rocket from the ground t seconds after it was launched. The graph of the function is shown.

What is the maximum value of the graph of the function?

What is the maximum value of g?

Two characteristics of quadratic function p are given.

1) The axis of symmetry of the graph of p is x = -3.
