vertex is $(3,1)$

Y intercept 19
and
No x intercept

In vertex form $f(x)=A(B[x-C])^2+D$

We know that C is the x co-ordinate of the vertex and D is the y co-ordinate

So the vertex is $(3,1)$

Y intercept (when x 0)

$y=2((0)-3)^2+1=2(-3)^2+1=18+1=19$

X intercept (when y 0)

$0=2(x-3)^2+1$
$-1=2(x-3)^2$
$sqrt(-1)=2(x-3)$

Root 1 doesn't exist on the number line showing that there is no x intercept

How do you find the vertex and intercepts for y = 2(x - 3)^2 + 1y = 2(x - 3)^2 + 1?
