Question

Which of the following are characteristics of the graph of the quadratic parent function

Answer 1

It would be A. because it intercepts the x-axis and y-axis at (0, 0) and D. because it looks like a u

Answer 2

D. It is U-shaped

Explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic function is
`y=a*x^(2) +b*x+c` . The graph of quadratic function opens in the direction of the positive y-axis or negative y-axis, it depends on the coefficient of
`x^(2)` in the function. The shape of the graph of quadratic function is U shaped, because the greatest power of the x in the function is 2.

Hence The shape of quadratic function is U-shaped. It is the characteristics of the quadratic parent function.
