Question

What are the vertex and x intercepts of the graph below?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Vertex (1, -25); intercepts x = -4, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex

x = -b/2a

x = - (-2)/2(1)

x = 2/2

x = 1

y = 1^2 - 2(1) - 24

y = 1 - 2 - 24

y = -25

Vertex (1, -25)

x-intercepts when y = 0

x^2 - 2x - 24 = 0

(x - 6)(x + 4) = 0

x - 6 = 0; x = 6

x + 4 = 0;x = -4

Answer

D. Vertex (1, -25); intercepts x = -4, 6
