Answer:

• a = -2/3, b = 8, c = -24
• y-intercept: (0, -24)
• x = -b/(2a) = -8/(2(-2/3)) = 8(4/3)
• x = 6
• DOWN
• Max: (6, 0)
• Vertex: (6, 0)
• Domain: x
• Range: x

Explanation:

To find a, b, c, compare the given function to ...

f(x) = ax² +bx +c

You will see that ...

• a = -2/3
• b = 8
• c = -24

The y-intercept is the function value for x=0. It is the constant term:

y-intercept = f(0) = -24

Use the above values of a, b to find the line of symmetry.

`x = (-b)/(2a)=(-8)/(2\cdot(-2)/(3))=8\cdot(3)/(4)=6`

Per the calculation, the line of symmetry is ...

x = 6

The negative leading coefficient tells you the parabola opens DOWN.

Because it opens down, the vertex at (6, 0) is a Maximum.

As with any polynomial, the domain is "all real numbers", hence any x that is an element of Reals.

The range is all values below the vertex (including the vertex), so is ...

x ≤ 0
