question 14 of 16 joel was studying the function f(x)=2x^2-6x+4. he concluded that its graph would have an axis of symmetry of y=-0.5, a vertex of (1.5,-0.5) zeros of x=1 and x=3 and a y-intercept of (0,4) what were his errors?

Final answer:

The student's errors are as follows: - Incorrect axis of symmetry - Incorrect zeros - Typographical error for the y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's errors are as follows:

  1. The student incorrectly concluded that the axis of symmetry is y=-0.5. The correct axis of symmetry is x=1.5.
  2. The student incorrectly stated the zeros as x=1 and x=3. The correct zeros are x=1 and x=2.
  3. The student incorrectly identified the y-intercept as (0,4), when it should be at (0, 4). This mistake is due to a typographical error.
