If the vertex of the parabola is on the x-axis and the parabola is bending upwards, then the function is always positive except at the vertex point.
To solve this problem, let's analyze the function:
The statement in the problem says the function is always positive except at the vertex. As we see, the function is indeed zero only at the vertex and positive elsewhere, meaning the statement provided is incorrect in its description if one understands it as implying it should never reach zero, which technically it does only at the vertex.
Therefore, the correct answer is Incorrect.
Incorrect
The graph of the function below intersects the X-axis at points A and B.
The vertex of the parabola is marked at point C.
Find all values of \( x \) where \( f\left(x\right) > 0 \).
