Question 9 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

For all functions of the form f of x is equal to A x squared plus b x plus c , which is true when b is equal to 0 ?

Answer
A
The function will always have a minimum.
B
The y -intercept will always be the vertex.
C
The axis of symmetry will always be positive.
D
The graph will always have zero x -intercepts.

Explanation

When b = 0, the function is f(x) = Ax² + c. Its vertex is at x = −b/(2A) = 0, and the y-intercept also occurs at x = 0, so the y-intercept is the vertex. The function may open downward, so it does not always have a minimum.
