Given: y=x^2-4x-12

A.) determine the roots/zero
(By factoring & setting the answer equal to zero)

B.) use h=-b/2a to get vertex

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x^2-4x-12

Set equal to 0 to find the zeros

0 =x^2-4x-12

Factor.  What 2 numbers multiply to -12 and add to -4

-6*2 = -12  

-6+2 = -4

0= (x-6) (x+2)

Using the zero product property

0=x-6         0 = x+2

x=6            x = -2

zeros: -2,6

Vertex

h = -b/2a = - (-4)/ 2(1) = 4/2 = 2

OR  Average the roots  (-2+6)/2 = 4/2 =2

The y coordinate is found by substituting into the equation

y = (2)^2 -4(2) -12

y = 4-8-12

y =-16

vertex : (2, -16)

x = -2, 6

Vertex: (2,-16)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 4x - 12

x² - 6x + 2x - 12

x(x - 6) + 2(x - 6)

(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0

x = -2, 6

h = -(-4)/2

h = 4/2

h = 2

k = 2² - 4(2) - 12

k = 4 - 8 - 12

k = -16

Vertex: (2,-16)

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.
