Post by: Be nice:) on Mar 23, 2021
The quadratic function y= 0.16x^2 + 2x- 1 cannot be factored.

Answer to the nearest hundredth, where necessary.
a) Find the x-intercepts.
b) Find the y-intercept.
c) Fine the coordinates of the vertex.
d) Find the equation of the axis of symmetry.

a) use the quadratic formula
b) set x=0 in the original equation
c) use x=-b/2a to get the x-coordinate of the vertex. then use this value and sub it into the original equation to find the y coordinate
d) equation for the axis of symmetry is x= (the x coordinate the vertex)

Please next time type in the entire equation
