Quadratic Graphs: Roots, Intercepts & Turning Points

Read each drawn quadratic graph: the roots are where the curve crosses the x-axis, the y-intercept is where it crosses the y-axis, and the turning point is its lowest (or highest) point. For the unplotted equations, use the sign of the x^2 term for the shape and the constant term for the y-intercept.

  1. 1.
    The graph of y = x2x^{2} + 2x - 3 is shown. Use the graph to write down (a) the roots of x2x^{2} + 2x - 3 = 0, (b) the coordinates of the y-intercept, and (c) the coordinates of the turning point.

  2. 2.
    The graph of y = x2x^{2} + 6x + 8 is shown. Use the graph to write down (a) the roots of x2x^{2} + 6x + 8 = 0, (b) the coordinates of the y-intercept, and (c) the coordinates of the turning point.

    Without plotting it, state whether the graph of y = x2x^{2} - x + 9 opens upward (a "u" shape) or downward (an "n" shape), and write down the coordinates of its y-intercept.
  8. 8.
    Without plotting it, state whether the graph of y = x2x^{2} - x - 6 opens upward (a "u" shape) or downward (an "n" shape), and write down the coordinates of its y-intercept.
