Hi,
the vertex form of a parabola, where(h,k) is the vertex
vertex (-5,80)
y =a(x+5)^2 + 80
using y-intercept pt(0,45) to find a
45 = a(5)^2 + 80
-35 = a*25
-35/25 = a
y = -7/5(x+5)^2 +80 OR y = -7/5[x^2 +10x + 25] + 80
finding x-intercepts (y = 0)
-7/5[x^2 +10x + 25] + 80 = 0
-7/5x^2 - 14x -35 + 80 = 0
-7/5x^2 - 14x +45 = 0
