Given:


y=-2x^2+4x+11

Required:

(a) Find parabola opens upward.

(b) Find the vertex.

(c) Find the X-intercepts.

(d) Find Y intercepts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:


y=-2x^(2)+4x+11

Rewrite it as:


\begin{gathered} y=-2(x^2-2x)+11 \\ y=-2(x^2-2x+1)+11+2 \\ y=-2(x-1)^2+13 \end{gathered}

Compare the equation with the standard equation


y=a(x-h)^2+k

a = -2, h =1 and k =13

(a) Since the value of a = -2 < 0 so the parabola opens down.

(b) The vertex of the parabola is (h,k) .

Thus the vertex of given the parabola is (1, 13).

(c) At the X-intercept y = 0


\begin{gathered} -2x^2+4x+11=0 \\ 2x^2-4x-11=0 \end{gathered}

The given equation is a quadratic equation.

Compare it with


ax^2+bx+c=0

solve it as


x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

(d) At the y-intercept x =0


\begin{gathered} y=-2(0)^2+4(0)+11 \\ y=11 \end{gathered}

Final Answer:

(a) Parabola opens downward

(b) vertex = (1, 13)

(d) y-intercept is 11
