5.01 Key Properties of Quadratic Graphs
Identify whether each of the following quadratic functions will be a positive or a negative parabola.
| 1. | f(x) = –x2 – 5x + 4 | Positive or Negative: negative |
| 2. | f(x) = 2x2 + 8x + 16 | Positive or Negative: positive |
| 3. | Positive or Negative: negative | |
| 4. | f(x) = 7x2 + 22x + 3 | Positive or Negative: positive |
Identify each key feature of the parabola that has been graphed. You have also been given the equation of the parabola if you should happen to need it.

Using the given key features, sketch the graph. You will move the points, line, and curve to the correct position. Your curve should be the last thing on your drawing. You can turn it and stretch it as necessary.
