Question 146011: 4) Use the graph of y=-x^(2)+4x+5 to answer the following:
(Cannot paste graph)
a) Without solving the equation, or factoring, determine the solution(s) to the equation -x^(2)+4+5=0 using only the graph.
b) Does this function have a maximum or a minimum?
c) What are the coordinates of the vertex in (x,y) form?
d) What is the equation of the line of symmetry for this graph?

a) Without solving the equation, or factoring, determine the solution(s) to the equation -x^(2)+4+5=0 using only the graph.
There are TWO solutions:points where the graph crosses the x-axis
.
b) Does this function have a maximum or a minimum?
It is a "downward" parabola, so YES, it has a maximum. Looking at the graph, it is at the peak of the parabola
.
c) What are the coordinates of the vertex in (x,y) form?
The vertex of a parabola is the high point or low point of the graph. In your case, it is the "high point". (2,9)
.
d) What is the equation of the line of symmetry for this graph?
For a parabola, the center line that splits the parabola in half is the "line of symmetry":
x = 2
.
