Answer

Vertex: $(2,3)$ Opens upward x-intercept: none y-intercept: 11

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=2x^2-8x+11$ Vertex: $x=-b/2a$ $x=-b/2a$ $x=-(-8)/2*2$ $x=8/4$ $x=2$ $f(x)=2x^2-8x+11$ $f(2)=2*2^2-8*2+11$ $f(2)=2*4-16+11$ $f(2)=8-5$ $f(2)=3$ Vertex: $(2,3)$ Opens upward $x=0$ $f(x)=2x^2-8x+11$ $f(0)=2*0^2-8*0+11$ $f(0)=2*0-0+11$ $f(0)=0-0+11$ $f(0)=11$ Since the graph is above the x-axis and opens upward, there are no x-intercepts. y-intercept: 11
