Answer:
1.) up
2.) (-2,-5)
3.) x = -2
4.) (-2,-5)
5.) y = -5
6.) -∞ < x < ∞
7.) -5 < y < ∞
8.) (0,0)
9.) (0,0) and (-4,0)
10.) two solutions
Explanation:
1.) because the parabola opens upward and the vertex is down
2.) the lowest point of the parabola is (-2,-5)
3.) If a line was drawn through the point x = -2, the two halves of the parabola would look symmetrical ( the same on both sides).
4.) The minimum point on the graph is ( -2,-5), because that is the lowest point on this upward parabola, and we can not determine the maximum.
5.) The minimum value of y is y = -5, because that is the lowest value of y on this graph, and we can not determine the maximum.
6.) Because the arms of the parabola continue traveling through negative infinity and positive infinity on the x-axis, the domain is -∞ < x < ∞.
7.) The arms of the parabola go from y = -5 to infinity, so the range of the parabola is -5 < y < ∞.
8.) The parabola first crosses the y-axis at the point (0,0)
9.) The parabola first crosses the x-axis at the points (0,0) and (-4,0)
10,) The solution to the parabola is the variable x. The solutions (x intercepts) of the parabola are x = 0 and x = -4.
