What is the vertex of the graph of y = x2 + 4x?

(–2, –12)

(–2, –8)

(–2, –6)

(–2, –4)

Which function is a quadratic function?

h(t) = 12 – 8t + 6t3

g(t) = 7t2 + 3t3 + 2t

k(t) = 3t4 + 3t2 + 4

h(t) = 12 – t + 6t2

27 bats

60 bats

174 bats

390 bats

Three hundred yards of fencing is being used to fence in a rectangular garden. The area of the garden is modeled by a quadratic function of the rectangle’s width, A(w). What does the second coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic function. A(w), represent?

the minimum width that can be used for the fencing

the maximum area that can be enclosed by the fencing

the width that gives the maximum area

the length that gives the maximum area

Which function is a quadratic function?

p(x) = 2x(x2 + 6) + 1

m(x) = –4(x + 3) – 2

t(x) = –8x2(x2 – 6) + 1

h(x) = 3x(x – 2) – 4

Which function is a quadratic function?

c(x) = 6x + 3x3

d(x) = x – 8x4

p(x) = –5x – x2

k(x) = 2x2 + 9x4
