Explanation Given: The quadratic equation is: f ( x ) = x 2 − 6 x + 8 . Formula used: If a function is f ( x ) = a x 2 + b x + c . Then, (1) The vertex occurs at ( − b 2 a , f ( − b 2 a ) ) . (2) The y -intercept is at ( 0 , f ( 0 ) ) . (3) The x -intercept occurs where f ( x ) = 0 . Calculation: Consider the provided function, f ( x ) = x 2 − 6 x + 8 Since, a = 1 , b = − 6 , and c = 8 . So, the vertex occurs is at x = − b 2 a . Then, x = − ( − 6 ) 2 ( 1 ) = 3 To find the y -coordinate, calculate f ( 3 ) . f ( 3 ) = ( 3 ) 2 − 6 ( 3 ) + 8 = 9 − 18 + 8 = − 1 Therefore, the vertex is at ( 3 , − 1 ) . To find the y -intercept, calculate f ( 0 ) . f ( 0 ) = ( 0 ) 2 − 6 ( 0 ) + 8 = 8 Therefore, the y -intercept is ( 0 , 8 )
