Let’s go through each question one by one.

Question 1

Find the zeros of \( y = -3x^2 + 12x + 15 \): To find the zeros, we can use the quadratic formula:
\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] Here, \( a = -3 \), \( b = 12 \), and \( c = 15 \):

  1. Calculate the discriminant:
    \[ b^2 - 4ac = 12^2 - 4(-3)(15) = 144 + 180 = 324 \]
  2. Calculate the roots:
    \[ x = \frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{324}}{2(-3)} = \frac{-12 \pm 18}{-6} \]
    • First root:
      \[ x_1 = \frac{6}{-6} = -1 \]
    • Second root:
      \[ x_2 = \frac{-30}{-6} = 5 \] Thus, the zeros are \( (-1, 0) \) and \( (5, 0) \).

Response: (-1, 0) and (5, 0)

Question 2

Find the vertex of \( y = x^2 - 16x + 14 \): The vertex of a quadratic \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \) can be found using: \[ x = -\frac{b}{2a} \] Here, \( a = 1 \) and \( b = -16 \):

  1. Find x-coordinate of vertex: \[ x = -\frac{-16}{2(1)} = \frac{16}{2} = 8 \]
  2. Find y-coordinate of vertex by substituting \( x = 8 \) back into the equation: \[ y = (8)^2 - 16(8) + 14 = 64 - 128 + 14 = -50 \] Thus, the vertex is \( (8, -50) \).

Response: (8, -50)

Question 3

Identify the vertex of \( y = -10(x + 15)^2 - 18 \): The vertex form of a quadratic equation is \( y = a(x - h)^2 + k \) where \( (h, k) \) is the vertex. Here, the equation is in vertex form: \[ h = -15, k = -18 \] Thus, the vertex is \( (-15, -18) \).

Response: (-15, -18)

Question 4

Identify key points of \( y = x^2 - 8x \):

  1. Vertex: Use vertex formula: \[ x = -\frac{-8}{2(1)} = 4 \] Substitute \( x = 4 \): \[ y = (4)^2 - 8(4) = 16 - 32 = -16 \] So, the vertex is \( (4, -16) \).

  2. Y-Intercept: Set \( x = 0 \): \[ y = 0^2 - 8(0) = 0 \] Y-intercept is \( (0, 0) \).

  3. X-Intercepts: Set \( y = 0 \): \[ 0 = x^2 - 8x \] Factor: \[ 0 = x(x - 8) \] So, \( x = 0 \) and \( x = 8 \). The x-intercepts are \( (0, 0) \) and \( (8, 0) \).

Response: x-intercepts: (0, 0) and (8, 0); y-intercept: (0, 0); vertex: (4, -16)

Question 5

Find the symmetrical point to (-1, -17) for the graph of \( y = -x^2 - 16 \): The axis of symmetry for the graph \( y = -x^2 - 16 \) is the line \( y = -16 \). To find the symmetrical point, we need to find its reflection across this line:

  1. Calculate the distance from the point (-1, -17) to the line \( y = -16 \): \[ -16 - (-17) = 1 \]
  2. Move 1 unit above the line to find the symmetrical point: \[ (-1, -16 + 1) = (-1, -15) \]

However, this option is not among the choices, and the symmetry about axes typically means reflecting over the x-axis will yield a y-coordinate switch. So, reflecting (-1, -17) over y=-16 yields: The new point coordinates: \[ x = -1, y = -16 + 1 = -15 \]

However, looking at the options, I realize that the symmetric points in consideration were primarily regarding the vertical symmetry, thus implying(-1, 17) as relevant. The correct interpretation however overwhelmingly tilts towards y=-16 represents a misbellied stat and now reflects to these points arriving at:

Response: (-1, 17)
