I'm assuming you're referring to problem 6. You are asked to find the number of x intercepts or roots, which is another term for "zero". I prefer the term root or x intercept as "zero" seems misleading. Anyways, all we do is count the number of times the graph crosses the x axis. This happens 4 times as shown in the attached image below. I have marked these points in red. The graph can directly cross over the x axis, or it can touch the x axis and then bounce back. Either way, it is considered an x intercept.
<h3>Answer: there are 4 x intercepts (or 4 roots)</h3>
Answer:
<em>The coordinates of the vertex are (-1,-4).</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equation of the Quadratic Function </u>
The vertex form of the quadratic function has the following equation:
Where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola that results when plotting the function, and a is a coefficient different from zero.
We are given the function:
We must transform the equation above by completing squares:
The first two terms can be completed to be the square of a binomial. Recall the identity:
Thus if we add and subtract 1:
Operating:
The trinomial in parentheses is a perfect square:
Adding 4:
Comparing with the vertex form of the quadratic function, we have the vertex (-1,-4).
The coordinates of the vertex are (-1,-4).
