Your Turn: Answer Practice Test #4. 4. Which of the following is not true of the function 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒙 𝟐 −𝟐𝒙+𝟓? 2. Since 𝑎>0, the parabola opens up, hence the function has a minimum. The minimum is the y-coordinate of the vertex. To find the minimum, first find the x-coordinate of the vertex. Use the formula for the axis of symmetry to find the x-coordinate, 𝒙= −𝒃 𝟐𝒂 The y-intercept is 5. The minimum value is 4. The axis of symmetry is 𝒙=𝟏. The vertex is at (1, 5). Notes: 1. The function 𝑓 is in standard form, 𝑓 𝑥 =𝑎 𝑥 2 +𝑏𝑥+𝑐. 2. The y-intercept is at x=0, so y−intercept=𝑐=5. Hence, Choice A is true. Since a = 1 and b = -2, 𝒙= −(−𝟐) 𝟐(𝟏) =𝟏 3. To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, substitute the value of x into the original function. 𝒚= (𝟏) 𝟐 −𝟐 𝟏 +𝟓=𝟏−𝟐+𝟓=−𝟏+𝟓=𝟒 Hence, Choices B and C are true. The statement which is not true is D.
