Let’s continue to practice finding intervals of increase, decrease, positive, and negative when analyzing the characteristics of quadratic functions.  Look at the functions below.  Can you answer each characteristic with the correct intervals or ordered pairs?  You may use Desmos to help you.

Question 1

1.

Over what interval is f(x) increasing?

Question 2

2.

Over what interval is f(x) decreasing?

Question 3

3.

What are the x-intercepts of the function f(x)? (WRITE TWO ORDERED PAIRS)

Question 4

4.

When is f(x) positive?

Question 5

5.

When is f(x) negative?

x < -6

x > -2

-6 < x < -2

Question 6

If you finished the first ten questions, try this

My minimum is y=1 and
all the y-values of my function are positive.

My function is only increasing over the interval x > -1.

The zeros of my parabola are (-6, 0) and (-2, 0).

I have an axis of symmetry of x = -1.

My function has a vertex that is (0, 0) and an axis of symmetry of x = 0.

For my function, f(x) is negative when
x < 0 and x > 2.

The x-intercepts of my parabola are opposites.

The range of my function is y ≤ 1.

My function's y-intercept and vertex are the same.

My function is decreasing over the interval (-4, ∞).

Find my function using the clue below:
f(-1) + f(4) = -11

My y-intercept is 5
and my vertex is (-2, 1).
