Answers:
- a) True. Plug in x = 0 and it leads to y = c. Therefore, the point (0,c) is on the parabola.
- b) False. Plug in y = 0 and apply the quadratic formula. One x intercept may sometimes be x = c, but it could easily be other values as well. Or perhaps you may not get any real number solutions at all. See part d) below.
- c) True. If a < 0, then the leading coefficient is negative. Overall, both endpoints will tend toward negative infinity to produce a parabola that opens downward.
- d) False. The quadratic may have one x intercept or it may not have any x intercepts at all. It depends on what the discriminant d = b^2 - 4ac is equal to. If d < 0, then we have no x intercepts. If d = 0, then we have exactly 1 x intercept. If d > 0, then we have two different x intercepts.
- e) True. The vertex's x coordinate is -b/(2a). If b = 0, then the x coordinate of the vertex is 0. The vertical line x = 0 is directly on top of the y axis.
If the value of a is less than zero then the parabola is open downward. Then the correct option is C.
What is a quadratic equation?
It is a polynomial that is equal to zero. Polynomial of variable power 2, 1, and 0 terms are there. Any equation having one term in which the power of the variable is a maximum of 2 then it is called a quadratic equation.
A quadratic function f is given by f(x) = ax2 + bx + c where a is not 0.
a. The y-intercept of the graph is at (0,c). This is incorrect.
b. The graph has an x-intercept at (c,0). This is incorrect.
c. When a < 0 the graph is open downward. This is correct.
d. The graph has two x-intercepts. This is incorrect.
e. If b = 0, then the vertex is on the y-axis. This is incorrect.
