The graph of quadratic function g is shown on the grid.

Use the function to decide if each statement below is
true or false and then explain your reasoning. Answers will vary.

1. The coordinates of the x-intercepts are integers. False, they are decimals
because they are between integer increments.
2. The minimum and the y-intercept are the same. False, the minimum is below
the y-intercept.
3. The vertex is in quadrant IV. True, the vertex is the lowest spot and it lies in
the bottom right corner.
1 5
4. The zeros are about - and . True, the graph crosses the x-axis at these points.

5. The quadratic function has one x-intercept and two y-intercepts. False, it has
1 5
two x-intercepts at (- ,0) and ( ,0) and one y-intercept at (0,-1).
