Key Characteristic of Quadratic Function

What is a parabola?

• The straight graph of a quadratic function

• The circular graph of a quadratic function

• The V-shaped graph of a quadratic function

• The U-shaped graph of a quadratic function

Using the graph of the quadratic function, identify the vertex.

• (4, -6)

• (0, 2)

• (.5, 0)

• (7.5, 0)

Using the graph of the quadratic function, identify the domain.

• y > -6

• -2 < x < 10

• -∞ < x < ∞

• y < -6

Using the graph of the quadratic function, identify the range.

• y < -6

• -2 < x < 10

• -∞ < x < ∞

• -6 ≤ y < ∞

Label the graph. Match the zero smaller and larger values by placing the box on the graph next to what it represents.
