Which of the following are characteristics of the graph of the quadratic parent function? check all that apply. a. it is a parabola. b. it is in quadrants i and ii. c. it is a straight line. d. it is in quadrants i and iii.

Answer – A and B
 A. It is a parabola
 B. It is in quadrants I and II
 The most simple quadratic function is y = x^2. The graph drawn for this function, y = x^2) is known as the graph of the quadratic parent function OR the parent function for parabolas. This graph has some few characteristics:
 - It is the simplest parabola (Generally, the graph of any quadratic function is a parabola).
- It passes through the origin (0,0).
- It is contained in Quadrants I and II.
