Question

The illustration below shows the graph of y as a function of x.Complete the following sentences based on the graph of the function.(Enter the x-intercepts from least to greatest.)* This is the graph of a (nonlinear, linear, constant) function.* The y-intercept of the graph is the function value y = ___.* The x-intercepts of the graph (in order from least to greatest) are located at x = ___ and x = ___.* The greatest value of y is y = ___, and it occurs when x = ___.* For x between x = 0 and x = 6, the function value y (≤, ≥, =) 0.

Answer 1

- This is the graph of a nonlinear function as it represents a quadratic function.

- The y-intercept of the graph is y=0.

- The x-intercepts of the graph (in order from least to greatest) are located at x = 0 and x = 6. (From the graph).

- The greatest value of y is y = 9, and it occurs when x = 3. (From the graph).

- For x between x = 0 and x = 6, the function value y ≥ 0. ( The function values are higher or equal to zero on that interval).
