Here are four graphs. Match each graph with a quadratic equation that it represents.
Graph A
Graph B
Graph C
Graph D
Graph A
Graph B
Graph C
Graph D
\(y = x^2\)
\(y = x^2 + 5\)
\(y = x^2 +7\)
\(y = x^2 - 3\)
The two equations \(y=(x+2)(x+3)\) and \(y=x^2 + 5x + 6\) are equivalent.
Here is a graph that represents \(y = x^2\).
On the same coordinate plane, sketch and label the graph that represents each equation:
Select all equations whose graphs have a \(y\)-intercept with a positive \(y\)-coordinate.
\(y=x^2 + 3x - 2\)
\(y=x^2 - 10x\)
\(y=(x-1)^2\)
\(y=5x^2-3x-5\)
\(y=(x+1)(x+2)\)
Here is a graph of a function, \(g\), given by \(g(x) = a \boldcdot b^x\).
What can you say about the value of \(b\)? Explain how you know.
Determine the \(x\)-intercepts, the vertex, and the \(y\)-intercept of the graph of each equation.
| equation | \(x\)-intercepts | vertex | \(y\)-intercept |
|---|---|---|---|
| \(y=(x-5)(x-3)\) | |||
| \(y=2x(8-x)\) |
Equal amounts of money were invested in stock A and stock B. In the first year, stock A increased in value by 20%, and stock B decreased by 20%. In the second year, stock A decreased in value by 20%, and stock B increased by 20%.
Was one stock a better investment than the other? Explain your reasoning.
