Find the Vertex, the Y-Intercept, and the X-Intercepts (If Any $$p ( x ) = 2 x ^ { 2 } + 4 x + \frac { 13 } { 2 }$$

question 29

Multiple Choice

Find the vertex, the y-intercept, and the x-intercepts (if any exist) , and graph the function.
- $$p ( x ) = 2 x ^ { 2 } + 4 x + \frac { 13 } { 2 }$$

• A) Vertex \(( 1,9 )\) no \(x\)-int; \(\mathrm { y }\)-int \(= ( 0,11 )\)
• B) \(\operatorname { Vertex } \left( 1 , \frac { 9 } { 2 } \right)\) no \(x\)-int;
• C) Vertex \(( - 1,9 )\) no \(x\)-int; \(y\)-int \(= ( 0,11 )\)
• D) \(\operatorname { Vertex } \left( - 1 , \frac { 9 } { 2 } \right)\) no \(x\)-int; \(y\)-int \(= \left( 0 , \frac { 13 } { 2 } \right)\)
