  1. Question 1

    The vertex of f(x)=x^2-4x is

    • A(2; -4)
    • B(-2; 4)
    • C(4; 0)
    • D(0; 0)
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    x=-b/2a=2 and f(2)=4-8=-4 so the vertex is (2; -4).

  2. Question 2

    The range of f(x)=x^2-4x is

    • A(-infinity; -4]
    • B[-4; infinity)
    • C[4; infinity)
    • DAll real numbers
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The vertex (2; -4) is a minimum so the range is [-4; infinity).

  3. Question 3

    The x-intercepts of f(x)=x^2-4x are

    • A2 and 4
    • B0 and -4
    • C0 and 4
    • DOnly 4
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    x^2-4x=x(x-4)=0 gives x=0 and x=4.

  4. Question 4

    The minimum value of f(x)=x^2-5x+6 is

    • A6
    • B1/4
    • C-5/2
    • D-1/4
    Show answer

    Answer: D

    The vertex is at x=5/2 and f(5/2)=25/4-25/2+6=-1/4.

  5. Question 5

    The x-intercepts of f(x)=x^2-5x+6 are

    • A2 and 3
    • B-2 and -3
    • C1 and 6
    • D-1 and 6
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    x^2-5x+6=(x-2)(x-3)=0.
