Answer

Vertex: $(2, -12)$ Opens upward x-intercepts: 0, 4 y-intercept: 0

Work Step by Step

$f(x)= 3x^2-12x$ $y=3x^2-12x$ $y=3x(x-4)$ $y=3x^2-12x$ $y=3(x^2-4x)$ $y+3*(-4/2)^2=3(x^2-4x)+3*(-4/2)^2$ $y+3*(-2)^2=3(x^2-4x)+3*(-2)^2$ $y+3*4=3(x^2-4x)+3*4$ $y+12=3(x^2-4x+4) $ $y+12=3(x-2)^2$ $y+12-12=3(x-2)^2-12$ $y=3(x-2)^2-12$ Vertex: $(2, -12)$ Opens upward $x=0$ $y=3x^2-12x$ $y=3*0^2-12*0$ $y=3*0-0$ $y=0-0$ $y=0$ $y=0$ $y=3(x-2)^2-12$ $0=3(x-2)^2-12$ $0+12=3(x-2)^2-12+12$ $12=3(x-2)^2$ $12/3=3(x-2)^2/3$ $4=(x-2)^2$ $\sqrt 4=\sqrt {(x-2)^2}$ $±2 =x-2$ $2=x-2$ $2+2=x-2+2$ $4=x$ $-2=x-2$ $-2+2=x-2+2$ $0=x$ x-intercepts: 0, 4 y-intercept: 0
