For the parabola g(x)=x^2=X-6 find:
vertex - (-0.5,-6.25)
Y intercept - (0,-6)
X interacept - (0,2) and (0,-3)
Is this correct?
 
Your notation needs work.
You cannot have a function with two ='s. NEVER mix x with X. They are two different variables.
Don't use - as a spacer. Its confusing.
If you mean
g(x)=x^2-x-6
the vertex is at -b/2a = 1/2
so I GUESS you mean
g(x)=x^2+x-6

That would make your answers correct.

Thank you, I need to be sure I check my spelling prior to posting.
YES :evil:

And clarity; with equations, spacing helps; example:
5x^2 + 3x - 26 = 0 ; much easier to read than 5x^2+3x-26=0
