The correct answer would be choice A.

An angle bisector is an angle that is exactly in the middle of an angle. It is right in between the two rays of the angle. If you fold a paper having the rays touch, the fold will be right in the middle. That will be your angle bisector.

<h3>What are the coordinates of vertex for a quadratic function?</h3>

For a quadratic function of the form $y = ax^2 + bx + c$ , its vertex form is obtained as:

$y = ax^2 + bx + c\\y =a(x^2 + bx/a) + c\\y = a(x^2 + 2(b/2a)x + (b/2a)^2 -(b/2a)^2 )+ c\\y = a(x^2 + 2(b/2a)x + (b/2a)^2) -a \times (b/2a)^2 + c\\\\y = a(x+b/2a)^2 - a \times (b/2a)^2 + c$

For the form $y = a(x-h)^2 + k$ , the vertex has coordinates (h, k)

Thus, for the obtained equation $y = a(x+b/2a)^2 - a \times (b/2a)^2 + c$ , we get the coordinates of vertex as:

$h = -b/2a$ , $k = c - a\times(b/2a)^2$

Thus, the coordinates of vertex of $y = ax^2 + bx + c$ is:

$(h,k) = (-b/2a, c - a \times (b/2a)^2 )$

The missing steps of work of Jan'ai are:

Begin to write a function in factored form. $f(x) = a(x+1)(x-5)$
Substitute x = 0, y = f(x) = -25 to determine a. $-25 = a(0+1)(0-5)$
Simplify and solve to find a. $a=5$
Rewrite the function. $f(x) = 5(x+1)(x-5)$
Rewrite in standard form. $f(x) = 5x^2-20x-25$
Find the x-coordinate of the vertex. $x = -20/2(5) = -20/10; x = -2$
Find the y-coordinate of the vertex.

$y = 5x^2-20x-25$

$y = 5(-2)^2-20(-2)-25$

$y = 35$

so (-2,35) is the coordinate of the vertex, which denotes the minimum.

So, as we see, in the 5th step, Jan'ai had the quadratic function $f(x) = 5x^2-20x-25$ ,

Comparing this to $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$ , we get a = 5, b = -20, c = -25

The vertex's x-coordinate will be on -b/2a = -(-20)/ 2(5) = 20/10 = 2

But Jan'ai didn't putted that negative sign before b. in the 6th step.

Thus, the first error in Jan'ai's work in determining the considered function is given by: Option D: She incorrectly determined the x-coordinate of the vertex.
