Answer:
V: (4, -2), min, Axis: x = 4, Roots 2 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply everything x 2 to get rid of the decimal in front of x^2
2y = x^2 - 8x + 12
Factor
2y = (x - 6)(x - 2)
The roots are at 2 and 6.
The axis of symmetry is in the center between the roots, so it is x = 4.
Put 4 into the original equation to find y
y = 0.5(4*2) - 4(4) + 6
y = 8 - 16 + 6, y = -2
Vertex is at (4, -2). It is a minimum because the graph opens up since x*2 is positive.
