Question

Consider the quadratic function f(x) = x2 – 5x + 12. Which statements are true about the function and its graph? Select three options.
The value of f(–10) = 82
The graph of the function is a parabola.
The graph of the function opens down.
The graph contains the point (20, –8).
The graph contains the point (0, 0).

Answer 1

Answer:

I will assume the equation is supposed to be f(x) = x^2 – 5x + 12 since it is said to be a quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached graph.

The value of f(–10) = 82     False

      f(-10) = (-10)^2 - 5*(-10) + 12

       f(-10) = (100) +50 + 12

      f(-10) = 162

The graph of the function is a parabola.  True

The graph of the function opens down.   False

The graph contains the point (20, –8).      False

The graph contains the point (0, 0).          False
