You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1.The vertex is(4,-7),and the parabola opens upward.Determine the number of x-intercepts.
Vertex is below the x-axis and parabola opens up.
2 x-intercepts
--------------------
2.The vertex is(-5,4),and the parabola opens downward.Determine tne number of x-intercepts.
Vertex: above x-axis
Opens down:
2 x-int
====================
3.The vertex is(2,0).Determine the number of x-intercepts.
Vertex on x-axis:
x-int: 1
------------------
4.The vertex is (4,2),and the y-intercepts is(0,5).Determine the number of x-intercepts.
Low point at y = 2
Since y-int at y = 5, parabola opens up.
x-int: none
------------------------
5.The vertex is(-2,-5),and the parabola opens downward.Determine the number
Hight point at y = -5
Opens down
x-int: none
====================
