### Understanding the Quadratic Function

Consider the function: \( f(x) = 2x^2 + 24x + 40 \)

#### 1. Y-Intercept
The y-intercept is the point where the graph of the function crosses the y-axis. This occurs when \( x = 0 \).

The y-intercept is at \( y = \) [Text Box]

#### 2. X-Intercepts
The x-intercepts are the points where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. These can be found by setting the function \( f(x) \) to zero and solving for \( x \).

The x-intercepts are at \( x = \) [Text Box]
(Enter solutions separated by a comma)

#### 3. Vertex
The vertex of a quadratic function in the form of \( ax^2 + bx + c \) can be found using the formula:

\[ x_{vertex} = -\frac{b}{2a} \]

Substitute the value of \( x_{vertex} \) into the function to find the y-coordinate of the vertex.
The vertex is at the point [Text Box]
(Give your answer as an ordered pair)

#### 4. Direction of the Graph
The direction of a parabolic graph of a quadratic function \( ax^2 + bx + c \) is determined by the coefficient \( a \):
- If \( a > 0 \), the parabola opens upwards.
- If \( a < 0 \), the parabola opens downwards.

The direction of the graph is like which of the following:

[Diagram Section]
- The left diagram shows a parabola opening upwards.
- The right diagram shows a parabola opening downwards.

Choose the correct direction:
[Radio Button] Upwards  
[Radio Button] Downwards
