The A Value of Quadratics

Solve using the quadratic formula

•  

•  

•  

•  

Is this a max or min?

• max

• min

• cannot be determined

Does the following quadratic equation have a maximum or minimum value? How can you tell?
y=x²+2x-3

• Minimum value, because the a value is positive

• Maximum value, because the b value is positive

• Maximum value, because the a value is positive

• Minimum value, because the c value is negative

Does this graph have a maximum or minimum value?

• maximum

• minimum

• neither

• both

Which of the following represents a quadratic function?

Which answer choice describes  y = -3x² +7x - 2 accurately?

• opens up with a maximum

• opens up with a minimum

• opens down with a maximum

• opens down with a minimum 

Does the quadratic have a max/min vertex, and does the graph open up/down?

• max/ opens down

• min/ opens up

• max/ opens up

• min/ opens down

The graph of a quadratic function is called a

• Parabola

• Vertex

• Axis of Symmetry 

• Vertex Form

What is the arrow pointing at? How can you use this value to determine the minimum/maximum values?

• The arrow is pointing at the y-intercept. The y value of this point is equivalent to the maximum/minimum 

• The arrow is pointing at the vertex. The x value of this point is equivalent to the maximum/minimum

• The arrow is pointing at the solution. The y value of this point is equivalent to the maximum and the x value is equivalent to the minimum

• The arrow is pointing at the vertex. The y value is equivalent to the minimum/maximum

Solve
a² + 2a - 24 = 0

• a = -6, 4

• a = 6, -4

• a = 12, -2

• a = 8, -3
