Answer

Vertex: $(2,0)$ x-intercept: $(2,0)$ y-intercept: $(0,4)$

Work Step by Step

$h(x)=x^2-4x+4$ $a=1$, $b=-4$, $c=4$ The axis of symmetry is $x=-b/2a$, and the vertex of the graph is on the axis of symmetry. $x=-b/2a$ $x=-(-4)/2*1$ $x=4/2$ $x=2$ $h(x)=x^2-4x+4$ $h(2)=2^2-4*2+4$ $h(2)=4-8+4$ $h(2)=0$ $(2, 0)$ is the vertex. $x=0$ $h(x)=x^2-4x+4$ $h(0)=0^2-4*0+4$ $h(0)=0-0+4$ $h(0)=4$ $(0,4)$ is the y-intercept. $y=0$ $0=x^2-4x+4$ $0=(x-2)^2$ $\sqrt 0 = \sqrt {(x-2)^2}$ $0= x-2$ $0+2=x-2+2$ $2=x$ $(2,0)$ is the x-intercept. Vertex: $(2,0)$ x-intercept: $(2,0)$ y-intercept: $(0,4)$
