Math Problem Statement

Identify the key features of the graph below using the dropdown menu provided. Points A, B, and C are labeled on the graph.

Solution

In the graph provided, the key points AA, BB, and CC represent specific features of the quadratic curve. Here's how each point is identified:

  1. Point A (at x=0x = 0, y=5y = 5): This is the y-intercept of the parabola.
  2. Point B (at x=2x = 2, y=25y = 25): This is the vertex or maximum point of the parabola because it reaches the highest height.
  3. Point C (at x=4x = 4, y=5y = 5): This is the x-intercept where the curve intersects the xx-axis.

Summary:

  • Point A: y-intercept
  • Point B: vertex (maximum point)
  • Point C: x-intercept

Would you like me to explain more about the significance of these points or how they relate to a quadratic function? Let me know if you need further clarification!

Tip: The vertex is a key point in the graph of a parabola and is either the highest (maximum) or lowest (minimum) point, depending on the orientation of the curve.
