Question

Can you please solve this

Answer 1

Explanation:

To get the x intercepts you need to set y = 0.

So you will get:

`x^(2)` - 4x - 12 = 0

which can then be put in the form of:

(x - 6) (x + 2) = 0

The x intercepts are: (6,0) and (-2,0).

For the vertex you would need to convert the equation to vertex form.

which is : y = a
`(x-h)^(2)` =k

`x^(2)` - 4x - 12 = y

turn it in to square form:

(
`x^(2)` - 4x + 4) - 12 - 4 = y

`(x-2)^(2)` - 16 = y

so the vertex is = (2, -16)
