200

Find the axis of symmetry for y =x2 + 3x +4

What is x=-1.5?

200

What is steps to finding the vertex of a parabola?

1. Find the x-coordinate of the vertex, find the axis of symmetry by using zeros or the formula. 2. To find the corresponding y-coordinate, substitute the x-coordinate of the vertex into the function. 3. Write the vertex as an ordered pair

Is the following function quadratic y= x3? Explain your answer.

No, because the highest exponent is 3. In order to be a quadratic function, the highest exponent must be 2
