Answer:
Identify the vertex as a maximum or minimum. Answer: Since the coefficient of the x2 term is negative, the parabola opens downward and the vertex is a maximum point.
(2, 6)
Graph the function. You can use the symmetry of the parabola to help you draw its graph. On a coordinate plane, graph the vertex and the axis of symmetry. Choose a value for x other than 2. For example, choose 1 and find the y-coordinate that satisfies the equation. Original equation Simplify.

Since the graph is symmetrical about its axis of symmetry x = 2, you can find another point on the other side of the axis of symmetry. The point at (1, 4) is 1 unit to the right of the axis. Go 1 unit to the left of the axis and plot the point (3, 4).

Read the Test Item You are given a quadratic function, and you are asked to choose the graph that corresponds to it. Solve the Test Item Find the axis of symmetry of the graph Equation for the axis of symmetry
and
The axis of symmetry is 1. Look at the graphs. Since only choices C and D have this as their axis of symmetry, you can eliminate choices A and B. Since the coefficient of the x2 term is negative, the graph opens downward. Eliminate choice C.

Space Travel Two possible future destinations of astronauts are the planet Mars and a moon of the planet Jupiter, Europa. The gravitational acceleration on Mars is about 3.7 meters per second squared. On Europa, it is only 1.3 meters per second squared. Using the information and equation from Example 3 on page 548 in your textbook, find how much longer baseballs thrown on Mars and on Europa will stay above the ground than a similarly thrown baseball on Earth.
In order to find when the ball hits the ground, you must find when H = 0. Write two equations to represent the situation on Mars and on Europa.
These equations cannot be factored, and completing the square would involve a lot of computation.
Since a negative number of seconds is not reasonable, use the positive solutions. Answer: A ball thrown on Mars will stay aloft 5.6 2.2 or about 3.4 seconds longer than the ball thrown on Earth. The ball thrown on Europa will stay aloft 15.6 2.2 or about 13.4 seconds longer than the ball thrown on Earth.
Space Travel The gravitational acceleration on Venus is about 8.9 meters per second squared, and on Callisto, one of Jupiters moons, it is 1.2 meters per second squared. Suppose a baseball is thrown on Callisto with an upward velocity of 10 meters per second from two meters above the ground. Find how much longer the ball will stay in air than a similarly-thrown ball on Venus. Use the equation where H is the height
of an object t seconds after it is thrown upward, v is the initial velocity, g is the gravitational pull, and h is the initial height.
