Question 906170: A quadratic function is given.
f(x) =
(a) Express the quadratic function in standard form.
f(x) =
(b) Find its vertex and its x- and y-intercept(s). (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

vertex............(x, y) = ( _ , _ )
x-intercepts..(x, y) = ( _ , _ ) (smaller x-value)
.....................(x, y) = ( _ , _ ) (larger x-value)
y-intercept....(x, y) = ( _ , _ )

is not a square and what you want is a square. You have so far, something which can
be matched to a rectangle area, . If you ADD and SUBTRACT , you can complete the square
and part of the resulting expression can be factored:



----standard form.

The vertex is (2,-4), and because coefficient on the squared expression is POSITIVE 1,
this vertex is a minimum.

If you want to know the x-intercepts, solve for x in , a very simple
and easy process.

Finding y-intercept just means let x=0 and evaluate y.
