Question

Select all of the statements that are true for the given parabola.

Answer 1

A and B are true

Explanation:

The minimum is the turning point on the graph and occurs at (1, - 2)

The x- intercepts are where the graph crosses the x- axis , that is at

x = - 1 and x = 3 or in coordinate form (- 1, 0 ) and (3, 0 )

The equation of the axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing through (1, - 2)

with equation x = 1

The true statements are A and B

Answer 2

⇨ A and B choice

Explanation:

⟺ Consider all choices.

⥱ Choice A is correct because It's upward Parabola ( a > 0) where there is only the minimum point/value. The minimum point is at (1,-2). The vertex for upward parabola can be called the minimum point.

⥱ Choice B is correct because the Parabola intercepts x-axis at (-1,0) and (3,0) from the graph.

⥱ Choice C is wrong because the Axis of Symmetry is supposed to be x-term/value for the Parabola. If it is the y-value/term then it would be Side Parabola.

⥱ Choice D is wrong because an upward Parabola doesn't have the maximum point. The only Parabola with maximum point is downward Parabola ( a < 0)
