To analyze the function \( y = x^2 - 8x \), we can rewrite it in vertex form by completing the square.
-
Vertex Form: \[ y = x^2 - 8x \] To complete the square: \[ y = (x^2 - 8x + 16) - 16 = (x - 4)^2 - 16 \] The vertex is at the point \((4, -16)\).
-
X-intercepts: To find the x-intercepts, set \( y = 0 \): \[ 0 = x^2 - 8x \] Factoring gives: \[ 0 = x(x - 8) \] Thus, the x-intercepts are: \[ x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x = 8 \] Therefore, the x-intercepts are \((0, 0)\) and \((8, 0)\).
-
Y-intercept: To find the y-intercept, set \( x = 0 \): \[ y = 0^2 - 8(0) = 0 \] So the y-intercept is \((0, 0)\).
Summary of Key Points:
- Vertex: \((4, -16)\)
- X-intercepts: \((0, 0)\) and \((8, 0)\)
- Y-intercept: \((0, 0)\)
Based on these findings, the correct response from the multiple-choice given would be:
- x-intercepts: \((0,0)\) and \((8,0)\)
- y-intercept: \((0,0)\)
- vertex: \((4,-16)\)
