Consider the quadratic function f(x) = x2 – 5x + 12. Which statements are true about the function and its graph? Select three options. The value of f(–10) = 82 The graph of the function is a parabola. The graph of the function opens down. The graph contains the point (20, –8). The graph contains the point (0, 0).

The statements that are true about the quadratic function f(x) = x^2 - 5x + 12 and its graph are:

The graph of the function is a parabola.
The graph contains the point (0, 0).
The graph does not contain the point (20, -8).
The statement "The value of f(–10) = 82" is false, because:

f(-10) = (-10)^2 - 5(-10) + 12 = 100 + 50 + 12 = 162, not 82.

The statement "The graph of the function opens down" is also false, because:

The coefficient of the quadratic term is positive, so the parabola opens upwards.
