Answer

Vertex: $(3,-4)$ Opens upward x-intercepts: 1, 5 y-intercept: 5

Work Step by Step

$f(x)= x^2-6x+5$ $y=x^2-6x+5$ $y=(x^2-6x)+5$ $y=(x^2-6x)+5+(-6/2)^2-(-6/2)^2$ $y=(x^2-6x+(-6/2)^2)+5-(-6/2)^2$ $y=(x^2-6x+(-3)^2)+5-(-3)^2$ $y=(x^2-6x+9)+5-9$ $y=(x-3)^2-4$ Vertex: $(3,-4)$ Opens upward $x=0$ $f(x)= x^2-6x+5$ $f(0)= 0^2-6*0+5$ $f(0)= 0-0+5$ $f(0)=5$ $y=0$ $y=(x-3)^2-4$ $0=(x-3)^2-4$ $0+4=(x-3)^2-4+4$ $4=(x-3)^2$ $\sqrt 4 = \sqrt {(x-3)^2}$ $±2 =x-3$ $-2=x-3$ $-2+3=x-3+3$ $1= x$ $2=x-3$ $2+3=x-3+3$ $5=x$ x-intercepts: 1, 5 y-intercept: 5
