Answer:
See below ~
Explanation:
(a) To find y-intercept :
- y = -x² + 2x + 15
- y = -(0)² + 2(0) + 15
- y = 15
- M is : (0, 15)
(b) Finding x-intercepts :
- 0 = -x² + 2x + 15
- -x² + 5x - 3x + 15 = 0
- x(-x + 5) + 3(-x + 5) = 0
- (x + 3)(-x + 5) = 0
- x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = -3
- -x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
- P and Q are : (-3, 0) and (5, 0)
(C) Finding vertex :
- Vertex is (h, k)
- h = -b/2a = -2/2(-1) = 1
- k = -(1)² + 2(1) + 15
- k = -1 + 2 + 15
- k = 16
- The maximum point is : (1, 16)
