Graph the function on the coordinate plain

A)what are the x intercepts
B)what is the y intercepts
C)what is the maximum and minimum value

Answer 1

X Intercepts: (2, 0), (-6, 0),

Y Intercepts: (0, – 12)

minimum: (-2,-16)

Explanation:

A) what are the x intercepts

X- axis interception points of x²+ 4x– 12:

(2,0), (-6,0)

B)what is the y intercepts

Y-axis interception point of x² + 4X – 12:

(0, – 12)

X Intercepts: (2, 0), (-6, 0), Y Intercepts: (0, – 12)

C)what is the maximum and minimum value

Parabola equation in polynomial form

The parabola params are:

a=1, b=4,c= -12

xv= -b/2a

xv= -4/2.1

simplify

xv=-2

Plug in xv = -2 to find the yv value

yv= -16

Therefore the parabola vertex is (-2, – 16)

If a<0. then the vertex is a maximum value

If a>0. then the vertex is a minimum value

a=1

minimum=(-2,-16)
