Question

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).

Answer 1

The statements that are true about the function and its graph are:

The graph of the function is a parabola.

The graph of the function opens up (since the coefficient of the x2 term is positive).

The graph does not contain the point (20, –8), but it does contain the point (0, 12), since f(0) = 12.
