d The axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing iii Maximum turning point
through the vertex.
iv (−1, 0) and (1, 0)
e A minimum turning point is the lowest point
v (0, 3)
on the graph.
d i Axis of symmetry is x = 0
f The y-intercept is at x equals zero (0).
ii Turning point is (0, 4)
2 a (3, 0) , x = 3

iii Read from graph: t = 4 seconds is when a Positive graph: y-intercept = (0, 0),
the ball hits the ground (y = 0) x-intercept = (0, 0), TP = (0, 0)
Rule is y = x2
b Since the axis of symmetry is x = 1 and the f Positive graph: y-intercept = (0, −4),
y-coordinate of the turning point is −3, the x-intercepts = (−1, 0) and (4, 0),
coordinates of the turning point are (1, −3). TP = (1.5, −6.25)
Rule is y = x2 − 3x − 4
b Yes: these examples have one x-intercept. 13 a Read from graph: y = 0 when x = −2 and
x = 2.
c i y > −4
All values for x will give a value for
y > −4, with the exception of x = 0, which
gives y > −4.
So there are infinite vales of x.
c Yes: these examples have no x-intercepts.
ii y = −4
Only x = 0 gives this result
iii y < −4
No x-values give this result.
14 a i 0 = x2 − 2x.
Read from table: x = 0 and x = 2.
d No: parabolas have no limit, so at some point
the graph will touch the y-axis. ii 3 = x2 − 2x.
Read from table: x = −1 and x = 3
