Identify General Form and Coefficients: Identify the general form of the quadratic equation and the coefficients for calculation.Given f(x)=−3x2−11x−5, the coefficients are a=−3, b=−11, and c=−5.
Calculate Vertex: Calculate the vertex using the formula for the x-coordinate of the vertex, x=2a−b.x=2∗(−3)−(−11)=611≈1.83
Substitute for Y-Coordinate: Substitute x back into the function to find the y-coordinate of the vertex.y=−3(1.83)2−11(1.83)−5≈−28.07Vertex is approximately (1.83,−28.07).
Find X-Intercepts: Find the x-intercepts using the quadratic formula, x=2a−b±b2−4ac.Discriminant = (−11^2 - 4*(−3)*(−5) = 121 - 60 = 61x-intercepts: x=2∗(−3)−(−11)±61x1=−611+61≈−0.92, x2=−611−61≈−2.75
