Answer

Domain: $(-\infty, \infty)$ Range: $(\infty,1]$ Vertex: $(2,1)$ Axis: $x=-2$ Y-intercept: $(0,-11)$ X-intercepts: $(2+\frac{1}{\sqrt3},0)$ and $(2-\frac{1}{\sqrt3},0)$

Work Step by Step

Domain: x can have value. Range: There are no points on the graph that have a y-value greater than 1. Vertex: Can be seen on the graph. Axis of parabola: Has the same x-value as the vertex. Y-intercept: Substitute 0 for x and solve for y. $$y=-3(0-2)^2+1$$ $$y=-12+1$$ $$y=-11$$ Zeroes: Substitute 0 for y and solve for x. $$0=-3(x-2)^2+1$$ $$\frac{1}{3}=(x-2)^2$$ $$x-2=\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}$$ $$x=2+\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}, 2-\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}$$
