Question

Find two points on the graph of the parabola other than the vertex and x-intercepts.

p(x)=−x^2+8x−12

Answer 1

Hi Rasheedah O.

There a is another easy point that goes on your parabola, the y- intercept it is below.

You can also plot your function at Desmos.com to see or confirm points

f(x)= x² + 8x -12

(0, -12)

(1,-3)

Answer 2

p(x) = -x² + 8x - 12

p(x) = -(x² - 8x + 12)

p(x) = -(x - 2)(x - 6)

(2, 0), (6, 0)
