Use a Graphing Calculator to Find the Vertex and Intercepts $$y = x ^ { 2 } - 7.4 x + 7.87$$

question 77

Multiple Choice

Use a graphing calculator to find the vertex and intercepts for the equation. If your answers are not exact, round to the
nearest tenth.
- $$y = x ^ { 2 } - 7.4 x + 7.87$$

• A) \(x\)-intercepts: \(( 1.3,0 )\) and \(( 6.1,0 )\); -intercept: \(( 0,7.87 )\); Vertex: \(( - 7.4,7.9 )\)
• B) x-intercepts: \(( 1.3,0 )\) and \(( 6.1,0 ) ; y\)-intercept: \(( 0,7.87 )\); Vertex: \(( 3.7 , - 5.8 )\)
• C) x-intercepts: \(( 1.3,0 )\) and \(( 6.1,0 ) ; y\)-intercept: \(( 0 , - 7.87 )\); Vertex: \(( 3.7 , - 5.8 )\)
• D) \(x\)-intercepts: none; \(y\)-intercept: \(( 0,7.87 )\); Vertex: \(( 3.7 , - 5.8 )\)
