100

What are the roots of this graph?

-2 and 1 or (-2,0) and (1,0)

100

What is the value of the discriminant of the equation 9x^2 – 3x – 8 = -10 ?

-63

100

What are my a, h, and k terms? y = -5(x + 12)^2 

a = -5 , h=-12, k=0

100

Explain the transformation from  y^1 to y^2

y^1 = 3(x + 1)^2 + 1 y^2 = 3(x + 2)^2 + 1

Shifts one unit to the left

100

True or False:

There are more yard flamingos in the world than real flamingos.

TRUE

200

What is the axis of symmetry?

x=3

200

A quadratic with a discriminant of 0 will have how many roots?

One
200

 What is the vertex of the following equation? y = (x + 7)^2 

(-7, 0)

200

Explain the difference between the parabolas

 y^1 = x^2 – 2 and y^2 =-x ^2 – 2 

y^1 is concave up and y^2 is concave down

200

True or False:

Mr. Marin has never ripped his pants at work.

FALSE

300

How many solutions are there? List them.

One solution: (2,0) or 2

300

How many solutions will this equation have? -6y^2 – 6 = -7y – 9 

121, so two solutions

300

Write the equation of the graph in vertex form.

y = (x + 3)^2 – 1

300

Explain the transformations that occur  y^1 to y^2 


 y^1 = 1/2 (x + 9)^2 – 12 

y^2 = - 1/9 (x + 5)^2 + 1

shifts right 4, up 13, stretches wider, and flip over x-axis

300

How old was the oldest person to have lived? (That we know of!)

122

400

When graphing the equation 

 y = -3x^2 + 5x - 7 , which direction with the parabola open?

Down, the leading coefficient (a - term) is negative.

400

Is the discriminant positive, negative, or zero?

Negative, there are no solutions

400

What is the axis of symmetry for the following equation? y = (x – 1/4 )^2 + 1/2 

 x = 1/4 

400

No. First, Remy confused the h and k values. He should have taken 2 away from the h value to move left, and 3 away from the k value to move down. Second, his original h value should be h = 2, making his new value h = 0. The new value of k would be -2.

400

-100-(-245)+17=

162

500

Which graph will have a narrower parabola,

y = -3x^2 + 5x - 7 or y = 1/3x^2 - 18x - 45 ?

y = -3x^2 + 5x - 7

500

How many and what type of roots does the following equation have? -8p^2 + 16p = 8p – p^2 

two real, rational roots

500

Jalen wrote h=1, it should be h=-1 so the vertex should be (-1, 1)

a = -3, so the parabola should open downward


500

If  f(x) = x^2 , what would  g(x)  be if it was transformed up 3, shifted left 2, and flipped vertically?

g(x) = -(x + 2)^2 + 3

500

What animal is responsible for the most human death?

Mosquitos
