The quadratic function
is graphed in the
-plane above. If
for all values of
, which of the following could be the coordinates of point
?
Answer Choices
(A)![]()
(B)![]()
(C)![]()
(D)![]()
(E)![]()
The correct answer is C
Explanation
The fact that
for all values of
means that the point
is the maximum of the quadratic function
, so
must be the vertex of the parabola. The parabola intersects the
-axis at the points
and
, so
must be halfway between
and
. Therefore,
. Of the choices, the only one with
-coordinate equal to
is
. Therefore,
could be the coordinates of point
.
