Write the equation of the parabola in standard form. Find the vertex, axis of symmetry, and
x-intercepts.
1. f(x) = 3x2 – 12x + 11 2. f(x) = x2 + 8x + 12

Find the quadratic function that has the indicated vertex and passes through the given
point.
3. vertex (1, -4) point (2, -3)

Describe the end-behavior of the function.

4. f(x) = -3x5 + 2x2 – 5 5. f(x) = 2x6 – 6x3 + 1

Find the zeros of each function. No calculator!

6. f(x) = x4 – x3 – 2x2 7. h(x) = -2x3 – x2 + x

8. f(x) = x3 – 3x 9. f(x) = x3 + 6x2 + 9x

Divide.

10. (x4 – 3x2 + 2) ÷ (x2 – 1) 11. (6x4 – 4x3 – 27x2 + 18x) ÷ (x + 1)

Perform the operations and write the result in standard form.

12. (7 + 5i) + (-4 + 2i) 13. 5i(13 – 8i)

3 + 2i
14. (10 – 8i)(2 – 3i) 15.
5+i

Find all the zeros of the function and write the polynomial as a product of linear factors.

16. f(x) = x3 – 4x2 + 6x – 4 17. f(x) = x4 – 2x3 + 6x2 – 32x + 40

18.. Write a polynomial with zeros at 3 and 1 + 2i.

19. The table shows the prices P per fine ounce of gold (in dollars) for the years 1996 to 2004.
a. Graph the scatter plot for the data.
b. Find a quadratic model for the data.
c. Use the model to find when the price per ounce would have exceeded $500.

Year 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004
Price 389 332 295 280 280 272 311 365 410
