An equation is shown: x2 + 4x + 4 = 0

What are the x intercepts? Show your work using a method of your choice.


What is an alternate method you could use to find the x intercepts (other than the method you used)?


What is the vertex? Is it a minimum or maximum? How do you know by looking at the equation?


What steps would you take to graph using the information you have already calculated? How would you use symmetry to help you graph?
