Q. Given the factored form of the function y=(x−4)(x−3), find the following:a.) Find the x-interceptsb.) Find the vertex
Identify x-intercepts: Identify the x-intercepts by setting y=0 and solving for x.y=(x−4)(x−3)=0x−4=0 or x−3=0x=4 or x=3
Calculate vertex: Calculate the vertex using the formula for the vertex of a parabola given in factored form, which is the midpoint of the x-intercepts and the y-value by substituting this x-value back into the equation.Midpoint of x=4 and x=3 is 24+3=3.5y = (3.5−4)(3.5−3)=(−0.5)(0.5)=−0.25Vertex = (3.5,−0.25)
