The vertex and intercept are Vertex: (3, -16); Intercepts: x=-1,7
A quadratic function is a function that has a leading degree of 2. Given the function;
y= x^2 - 6x-7
Write in vertex form
y= x^2 - 6x-7
y= x^2 - 6x + (-3)^2 -7 - (-3)^2
y = x^2 - 6x + 9 -7 - 9
y = (x-3)^2-16
Hence the vertex of the function is (3, -16)
If the value of y = 0
(x-3)^2-16 = 0
(x-3)^2 = 16
x - 3 = ±4
x = 4 + 3 and -4 + 3
x = 7 and. -1
Hence the x-intercepts of the graph are -1 and 7
