This parabola characteristic is easy to find in factored form.
Zeroes
What 2004 film started the long-running horror franchise centered on elaborate death traps?
Saw
How many pieces of candy does the average house give to each trick-or-treater?

What is the vertex of
y=-1(x+2/3) - 6
(-2/3,-6)
What is the requirement for a trinomial to be considered complex?
a does not equal 1
What are the zeroes of
y=(x-6)(2x+3)
Zeroes: 6, -3/2
What horror comedy stars Michael Keaton as a mischievous ghost who helps haunt a house?
BeetleJuice
What famous magician died on Halloween?
Harry Houdini
RANDOM - What is the only mammal that can fly?
A bat
What are the zeroes of
y=x2 + 8x -16
Zeroes: 1.65, -9.66
How do we find the vertex from factored form? (there are two separate ways, there is one in specific I am looking for)
Way one - find zeroes. Find number between zeroes, we know that the vertex will lie on the x value. Sub that x value back into the equation to find the y value for the vertex.
Way two - expand to standard form and convert to vertex form.
Which horror movie takes place at the haunted Overlook Hotel?
The Shining
How many pounds did the world's largest pumpkin weigh?
3700 pounds
A Rocket launched from ground follows the path f(h) = -4(t-81)2 + 10000

1000m, after 81 seconds
Expand the following to standard form:
y=-4(x-5/6)2 + 3
y=-4x2+(20/3)x+(4/9)
What are the zeroes of:
y=((5/6)x - 2/3)((1/2)x+4/11)
Zeroes: 4/5, -8/11
This green monster is featured in a claymation movie staring Jack Skellington.

Vertex: (6,117)
When using the quadratic formula, how do we know whether there is one root, two roots, or no roots.
One root - the number under the square root is zero.
Two roots - the number under the square root is positive and not zero.
Zero roots - the number under the square root is negative.
Factor the following and state the zeroes:
y=6x2+11x-10
y=(2x+5)(3x-2)
Zeroes: -5/2, 2/3
What is the most commercially successful horror movie of all time?
It.
