Question

Find the vertex, y-intercept, x-intercept(if any exist), the graph.

Answer 1

I only need the x-intercept
p(x)=-x^2 +8x-12

Answer 2

-x^2 +8x-12=0
-(x-2)(x-6)

-x-2=0
+2 +2
-x=2
x=-2

x-6=0
+6 +6
x=6

Answer 3

One minor error...from -(x-2)(x-6) u should get
-(x-2)=0
-x+2=0
x x
2=x

the other solution of 6 is correct. good job!

Answer 4

Okay thank you for explaining that.

Answer 5

What about this one--
-x^2-10x+24=0
-(x-12)(x-2)

Answer 6

Answer 7

look at the 1st - sign: should it be inside or outside the ( ) ?

Answer 8

Im honestly not sure.

Answer 9

keep in mind if u pull the - sign out of ( ) then it will go from -x^2-10x+24=0 to
-(x^2+10x-24)=0
because if the - goes outside of ( ), then it changes every term inside the ( )

Answer 10

Um okay.. So its in the ( )

Answer 11

so plz rewrite it w/ the - sign inside :)

Answer 12

K... I already figured it out.

Answer 13

Good job @Destinyyyy ! :)
