Use the parabola tool to graph the quadratic function f(x)=x2−12x+27. Graph the parabola by first plotting its vertex and then plotting a second point on the parabola.

Verified Answer :

Answer:

vertex is (6 , -9)

points are (9,0) and (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given quadratic function \(f(x)=x^2-12x+27\)

We have to plot the given quadratic function.

Consider the Given quadratic function \(f(x)=x^2-12x+27\)

The general form of quadratic function  is given \(f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k\)

Where, (h, k)  is vertex , given  \(h =\frac{-b}{2a}\) and \(k = f(h)\)  

Thus, for given quadratic function \(f(x)=x^2-12x+27\)

a = 1 , b= -12 , c = 27

Thus,

\(h =\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{12}{2}=6\)

\(k = f(h)\) that is f(12) = (6)^2 - 12× 6 +27 = 36 - 72 + 27 = - 9

Thus, given  quadratic function \(f(x)=x^2-12x+27\) in standard form is \(f(x)=(x-6)^2-9\)  

Thus, vertex is (6 , -9)

For second point put \(f(x)=0\)  , we get,

\(f(x)=(x-6)^2-9=0\)  

\(\Rightarrow (x-6)^2-9=0\)  

\(\Rightarrow (x-6)^2=9\)  

\(\Rightarrow (x-6)=\pm 3\)  

\(\Rightarrow x= 6\pm 3\)  

Thus, \(\Rightarrow x=6+3=9\) and \(\Rightarrow x=6-3=3\)  

thus, points are (9,0) and (3,0)
