question 24

Multiple Choice

Write the function in vertex form and determine the x-intercept(s)
- $$p ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } + 9 x + 11$$

• A) \(p ( x ) = \left( x + \frac { 9 } { 2 } \right) ^ { 2 } - \frac { 37 } { 4 } ; \left( \frac { - 9 + \sqrt { 37 } } { 2 } , 0 \right)\) and \(\left( \frac { - 9 - \sqrt { 37 } } { 2 } , 0 \right)\)
• B) \(p ( x ) = \left( x + \frac { 9 } { 2 } \right) ^ { 2 } + \frac { 37 } { 4 } ; \left( \frac { - 9 + \sqrt { 37 } } { 2 } , 0 \right)\) and \(\left( \frac { - 9 - \sqrt { 37 } } { 2 } , 0 \right)\)
• C) \(p ( x ) = \left( x - \frac { 9 } { 2 } \right) ^ { 2 } - \frac { 37 } { 4 } ; ( 0,0 )\)
• D) \(p ( x ) = \left( x + \frac { 9 } { 2 } \right) ^ { 2 } - \frac { 37 } { 4 } ; ( 0,0 )\)
