Answer

Vertex: $(3,-18)$ Opens downward x-intercept: none y-intercept: 0

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=-2x^2+12x$ $f(x)=-2(x^2-6x)$ $f(x)=-2(x^2-6x+(-6/2)^2)-2(-6/2)^2$ $f(x)=-2(x^2-6x+(-3)^2)-2(-3)^2$ $f(x)=-2(x^2-6x+9)-2(9)$ $f(x)=-2(x-3)-18$ Vertex: $(3,-18)$ Opens downward $x=0$ $f(x)=-2x^2+12x$ $f(0)=-2*0^2+12*0$ $f(0)=-2*0+0$ $f(0)=0+0$ $f(0)=0$ Since the vertex is below the x-axis and the graph opens down, there are no x-intercepts. Y-intercept: 0
