The table shows a quadratic function. What is its vertex?

Question 10
What are the x-intercepts of \(y = (x – 2)(x + 6)\)?

Remember

Remember
  • Standard form f(x) = ax² + bx + c; vertex form f(x) = a(x – h)² + k.
  • The axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a), and the vertex lies on it.
  • If a > 0 the parabola opens up (minimum); if a < 0 it opens down (maximum).
  • f(x) + k shifts up/down; f(x – h) shifts right/left; a·f(x) stretches or reflects.
  • The vertex gives the maximum or minimum value in a model.
