Using the given graph of a parabola, let's select the statements which are true,
From the graph, we have the following:
• Vertex: (1, -2)
• Axis of symmetry: ,x = 1
This is the line that divides the parabola into two equal halves.
• x-intercepts:
The x-intercepts are the points the parabola crosses the x-axis.
Thus, we have:
(3, 0) and (-1, 0)
Since the parabola faces up, the vertex will be the minimum point.
Therefore, the true statements of the given parabola from the list are:
• The minimum is (1, -2)
,
• The x-intercepts are (3, 0) and (-1, 0)
ANSWER:
• A. The minimum is (1, -2)
• C. The x-intercepts are (3, 0) and (-1, 0)
