Zeros and multiplicity from vertex form of a quadratic

What is the vertex of a quadratic equation in vertex form?

• The midpoint of the graph

• The point where the graph intersects the Y-axis

• The highest or lowest point on the graph

• The point where the graph intersects the X-axis

How do you find the zeros of a quadratic equation?

• Set Y to 1 and solve for X

• Set X to 1 and solve for Y

• Set Y to 0 and solve for X

• Set X to 0 and solve for Y

What does a multiplicity of 1 indicate about a zero?

• The zero is not a real number

• The graph crosses the X-axis at the zero

• The zero is repeated twice

• The graph bounces at the zero

In the example provided, what is the Y-intercept of the graph?

• 0

• -32

• 16

• 5

What is the effect of a vertical stretch on a graph?

• It makes the graph narrower

• It makes the graph wider

• It reflects the graph over the X-axis

• It shifts the graph left or right

Why is it important not to distribute a number outside a squared term?

• It simplifies the equation

• It results in an incorrect solution

• It is unnecessary for solving

• It changes the order of operations

What should you do first when solving an equation with a squared term?

• Distribute the number outside the parentheses

• Add or subtract terms to isolate the squared term

• Multiply all terms by the same number

• Divide all terms by the same number
