1.

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

a)

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

b)

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

c)

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

d)

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

2.

The solution, root, x-intercept, and zero of a problem are all the same thing.
a)
True
b)
False, because the solution and root are the same but the x-intercept and zero are different
