Q. Given the factored form of the function \newliney=(x4)(x3)y=(x-4)(x-3), find the following:\newlinea.) Find the xx-intercepts\newlineb.) Find the vertex
  1. Identify x-intercepts: Identify the x-intercepts by setting y=0y = 0 and solving for xx.y=(x4)(x3)=0y = (x-4)(x-3) = 0x4=0x - 4 = 0 or x3=0x - 3 = 0x=4x = 4 or x=3x = 3
  2. 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.\newlineMidpoint of x=4x = 4 and x=3x = 3 is 4+32=3.5\frac{4+3}{2} = 3.5\newliney = (3.54)(3.53)=(0.5)(0.5)=0.25(3.5-4)(3.5-3) = (-0.5)(0.5) = -0.25\newlineVertex = (3.5,0.25)(3.5, -0.25)
