Answer:
vertex: (6, -9)
y intercept: (0, 27)
X = 3, 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding Vertex (Part A)
Consider the formula -b/2a. This formula gives you the x-coordinate of the vertex.
y = 1x^2 - 12x + 27
a = 1
b= -12
c =27
-b/2a = - (-12)/2(1) = 12/2 = 6 (x-coordinate of vertex)
When solving for the y-coordinate of the vertex you will need to substitute your 'x" back into the equation.
y = 1(6)^2 - 12(6) + 27
y = 36 - 72 + 27 = -9 (y-coordinate of vertex)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Y- Intercept (Part B)
When looking for the y-intercept your "x" must always be 0.
Substitute 0 in every "x" in equation.
y = 1(0)^2 - 12(0) + 27
y = 27
y intercept: (0, 27)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X- Intercepts (Part C)
To find the values of "x" factor.
y = 1x^2 - 12x + 27
0 = 1x^2 - 12x + 27
0 = (x - 3 )(x - 9 )
(x-3) = 0 (x-9) = 0
x = 3 x = 9
