Answer:
The function has two x-intercepts.
The vertex of the function is (one-quarter, negative 6 and one-eighth).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the vertex is located at (0.25, -6) and the parabola opens up, the function has two x-intercepts.
f(x) = 2x² - x - 6 has the following coefficients:
a = 2
b = -1
c = -6
x-coordinate of the vertex is:
x = -b/(2a)
x = 1/(2*2) = 1/4
y-coordinate of the vertex is:
f(1/4) = 2(1/4)² - 1/4 - 6 = -6 1/8
