The statement that is true about the quadratic function is (b) the graph of the function is a parabola.
<h3>How to determine the true statements?</h3>
The quadratic function is given as
f(x) = x2 – 5x + 12
Rewrite as
f(x) = x² – 5x + 12
All quadratic functions are parabola
This means that option (b) is true
Set x = -10 to calculate f(-10)
So, we have
f(-10) = (-10)² – 5(-10) + 12
Evaluate
f(-10) = 162
This means that option (a) is false
Set x = 20 to calculate f(20)
So, we have
f(20) = (20)² – 5(20) + 12
Evaluate
f(20) = 312
This means that option (d) is false
Set x = 0 to calculate f(0)
So, we have
f(0) = (0)² – 5(2) + 12
Evaluate
f(0) = 12
This means that option (e) is false
The leading coefficient in f(x) = x² – 5x + 12 is positive
Graphs with positive leading coefficient opens up
This means that option (c) is false
Hence, the true statement about the quadratic function is (b)
