Quadratics

• MINIMUM

• MAXIMUM

• CANNOT BE DETERMINED

• MINIMUM, because the value of "a" is positive.

• MAXIMUM, because "a" times "c" is -12.

• CANNOT BE DETERMINED

If a quadratic equation has only 1 solution, it must pass through the origin (0, 0).

• TRUE

• FALSE

If a quadratic equation in standard form has a negative c-value, the parabola opens downward.

[y = ax² + bx + c]

• TRUE, "c" controls the direction of the parabola.

• FALSE, "a" controls the direction of the parabola.

If the "bx" term is missing in a standard form quadratic, the equation for the axis of symmetry is x = 0.

(example: y = -2x² - 10)

• TRUE

• FALSE
