I am pretty sure it's B 6.25% but I'm not exactly sure
Answer:
- vertex (3, -1)
- y-intercept: (0, 8)
- x-intercepts: (2, 0), (4, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
You are being asked to read the coordinates of several points from the graph. Each set of coordinates is an (x, y) pair, where the first coordinate is the horizontal distance to the right of the y-axis, and the second coordinate is the vertical distance above the x-axis. The distances are measured according to the scales marked on the x- and y-axes.

<h3>Vertex</h3>
The vertex is the low point of the graph. The graph is horizontally symmetrical about this point. On this graph, the vertex is (3, -1).
<h3>Y-intercept</h3>
The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. On this graph, the y-intercept is (0, 8).
<h3>X-intercepts</h3>
The x-intercepts are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis. You will notice they are symmetrically located about the vertex. On this graph, the x-intercepts are (2, 0) and (4, 0).

<em>Additional comment</em>
The reminder that these are "points" is to ensure that you write both coordinates as an ordered pair. We know the x-intercepts have a y-value of zero, for example, so there is a tendency to identify them simply as x=2 and x=4. This problem statement is telling you to write them as ordered pairs.
It's not the difference of squares, rather it is the square of a difference. That leaves a perfect square trinomial, which narrows your selection to two choices. An expression with 2 terms is not a trinomial, so that further narrows your selection. The appropriate choice is
... (4xy -3z)² = 16x²y² -24xyz +9z², a perfect square trinomial
_____
The expression you have in your problem statement has no z term, so none of the choices is applicable to that one.
If two tangent segments to a circle share a
common endpoint outside a circle, then the two segments are congruent. This
is according to the intersection of two tangent theorem. The theorem states
that given a circle, if X is any point
within outside the circle and if Y and Z are points such that XY and XZ are
tangents to the circle, then XY is equal to XZ.
