1. What is the vertex of the parabola represented by the equation y = 2(x - 3)² + 1?

a

(-3, 1)

b

(3, 1)

c

(2, -3)

d

(1, 3)

2. In the vertex form equation y = a(x - h)² + k, the value of 'h' represents the   coordinate of the vertex, and 'k' represents the   coordinate of the vertex.

3. Write the equation of a parabola in vertex form with a vertex at (-2, 5) and passing through the point (0, 13).

4. The axis of symmetry for the parabola y = -(x + 4)² - 2 is x = 4.

T

True

F

False

5. For the quadratic equation y = (x - 1)² - 4:

a) Identify the vertex:  

b) Identify the axis of symmetry:  

c) Does the parabola open upwards or downwards?

d) Plot the vertex and at least two other points on the graph above, then sketch the parabola.

6. A ball is thrown into the air. Its height 'h' (in meters) at time 't' (in seconds) is given by the equation h = -5(t - 2)² + 20. What is the maximum height the ball reaches and at what time does it reach this height?
