question 2

Multiple Choice

Find the vertex, the y-intercept, and the x-intercepts (if any exist) , and graph the function.
- $$p ( x ) = - x ^ { 2 } + 4 x - 5$$

• A) Vertex \(( - 2,1 )\) \(x\)-int \(= ( - 3,0 ) , ( - 1,0 )\); \(\mathrm { y } - \mathrm { int } = ( 0 , - 3 )\)
• B) Vertex \(( 2 , - 1 )\) no \(x\)-intercepts; \(y\)-int \(= ( 0 , - 5 )\)
• C) Vertex \(( - 2 , - 1 )\) no \(\mathrm { x }\)-intercepts; \(\mathrm { y }\)-int \(= ( 0 , - 5 )\)
• D) Vertex \(( 2,1 )\) \(x\)-int \(= ( 1,0 ) , ( 3,0 )\); \(\mathrm { y }\)-int \(= ( 0 , - 3 )\)
