: Give the equation or other information on for a parabola, find the matching discription or graph.
f(x)-a(x-h)2+k the 2 after ) is square
a is less than 0
h is equal to 0
choices:
a. the graph of f(x) does not intersect x-axis
b. you can not tell from the information given
c. the graph of f(x) interescts the x-axis at one point
d. the graph of f(x) intersects the x-axis at two points This question is from textbook

vertex: (0,k)
If is negative, you have no intersection with the x-axis.
If is zero, you have one intersection with the x-axis.
If is positive, you have two intersections with the x-axis.
Since the value of is negative, the parabola opens downward.
The answer is (B).
