Hi
y=2x^2-4x+1 |y-intercept Pt(0,1)
x-intercept when y = 0
2x^2-4x+1 = 0
= 1 ± .707
Pt(.3,0) and Pt(1.7,0) the x-intercepts (rounded to nearest tenth)
Using the vertex form of a parabola, where(h,k) is the vertex
y=2x^2-4x+1 |completing square to put into the vertex form
y= 2(x-1)^2 -2 +1
y= 2(x-1)^2 -1 Vertex is Pt(1,-1) axis of symmetry is x = 1
