Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. −16x2 + 24x + 16 = 0

-8(2x2 - 3x - 2) = 0

-8(2x + 1 )(x - 2) = 0

x = -0.5, 2.

So the x-intercepts are (-0/5, 0) and (2, 0).

B.  As the leading coefficients is negative (-16) the vertex of the graph will be a Maximum.

To find its coordinates we convert the function to vertex form:

f(x) =  −16x2 + 24x + 16

=  -16(x^2 - 1.5x) + 16

Completing the square on  contents of the parentheses:

= -16 [(x - 0.75)^2  - 0.75^2] + 16

= -16(x - 0.75)^2  - 16 * -0.75^2 + 16

= -16(x - 0.75)^2 + 9 + 16

= -16(x - 0.75)^2 + 25.

So the coordinates of the vertex are (0.75, 25)

x-intercepts are (-1/2, 0), (2, 0) and coordinates of the vertex are (3/4, 25).

The given function is f(x)=-16x²+24x+16.

How to find x-intercept?

To find the x-intercept we set y = 0 and solve the equation for x.

Part A: To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y and solve for x.

To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x and solve for y.

x-intercepts: (-1/2, 0), (2, 0)y-intercepts: (0, 16)

Part B: Use the formula x=-b/2a to find the maximum and minimum. (3/4, 25)

Rewrite in vertex form and use this form to find the vertex (h, k).

(3/4, 25)

Part C: The parabola uses the direction, vertex, focus, and axis of symmetry.

Direction: Opens Down

Vertex: (3/4, 25)

Focus: (3/4, 1599/64)

Axis of symmetry: x=3/4

Directrix: y=1601/64

Coordinates to plot the graph is (0, 16), (3/4, 25) and (2, 0).

Therefore, x-intercepts are (-1/2, 0), (2, 0) and coordinates of the vertex are (3/4, 25).
