On a coordinate plane titled Area of Maya's Poster, a curved line with a minimum value of (1, negative 1) crosses the x-axis at (0, 0) and (2, 0), and the y-axis at (0, 0). The width of Maya’s poster is 2 inches shorter than the length. The graph models the possible area (y) of Maya’s poster determined by its length (x). Which describes what the point (2, 0) represents? The area is 2 if the length is 0. The area is 0 if the length is 2. The length is 2 if the width is 0. The width is 0 if the length is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

That the answer

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
