The pairs (answer key)

a < 0  ↔  The parabola opens downward

y = −2x2 + 20x − 3  ↔  Axis of symmetry x = 5

y = x2 + 3x − 10  ↔  Crosses the y-axis at (0, −10)

Vertex of y = x2 − 4x + 1  ↔  (2, −3)

y = (1/4)x2 compared with y = x2  ↔  Wider

y = −x2 + 12x − 29  ↔  Maximum value 7, at x = 6

Zeros of y = (x − 2)(x + 6)  ↔  x = 2 and x = −6

Range of y = x2 + 1  ↔  All y ≥ 1
