Graph y = x2 + 2. Identify the vertex of the graph. Tell whether it is a minimum or maximum

Vertex is -b/2a. The variable b=2 and a=2. That finds the x coordinate of the vertex. Then to find the y coordinate you just plug the number you got for x (-1/2) into the equation. Like so:
y = 2x+2
y = 2(-1/2)+2
y = -1+2
y = 1
So your vertex is ( -1/2, 1 )
To graph your vertex you take your x coordinate (-1/2) and find it on the x axis of the graph (horizontal line). Then do the same for y (1) (on the vertical axis.
Now that you have your vertex graphed you can find out if it is minimum or maximum by looking at the direction in which the slope is going. If it goes in the positive direction (up) then it is a minimum since that is the lowest point that the line touches. If it is maximum it is opposite. The line faces down and the highest point the line touches is that point.

Harman [31]

Answer:

Option D

Pyramid

Step-by-step explanation:

The clause that gave away the answer is "<em>three-dimensional solid consisting of a base that can be any polygon"</em>

<em></em>

Scanning through the options, we can see that the only option that fits the description is the pyramid.

The pyramid is the only three-dimensional shape amongst the options that can take any polygon as a base.

<em>The other options get screened out here.</em>

A cube must have a square base.

A triangular prism must have a triangular base

A rectangular prism must have a rectangular base

Thus, option D: The Pyramid is the correct answer.
