Answer

Vertex: $(2, -1)$ Opens upward x-intercepts: 1, 3 y-intercept: 3

Work Step by Step

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