Answer:

D (2, 5)

Explanation:

To find the vertex of the quadratic function , we will follow the steps below

(x,y) = [-b/2a , f(-b/2a)]

x = -b /2a y = f(-b/2a)

The standard equation of a quadratic equation is y =ax² + bx + c

compare the above with the equation given, y = 3x² - 12x + 17

a = 3 b= -12 and c= 17

x = -b/2a

x = -(-12)/2(3)

x = 12/6

x = 2

y = f(-b/2a)

y = f (-b/2a) = f(x) = f (2)

y = f(x) =3x² - 12x + 17

To find f(2) simply mean to substitute x = 2 into the quadratic function above. That is;

f(2) = 3(2)² - 12(2) + 17

f(2) =12-24 + 17

f(2) =5

x = 2 and y = 5

(x,y) = (2, 5)
