Question 911619: I need to know the vertex, axis of symmetry, roots, domain, range for the following problem
Y=-2(x+3)(x-1)
i also need to know if it opens up or down and if you can graph it that would be greatly appreciated.

The graph opens downward, since just looking at the expression shows you the coefficient on is negative. Symmetry axis is between the roots in the exact middle and you can read the roots directly from the quadratic expression because it is given in its factored form. Symmetry axis is the middle of x=-3 and x=1.
Domain, range, and vertex will best be found through converting into standard form as discussed here: http://www.algebra.com/my/Completing-the-Square-to-Solve-General-Quadratic-Equation.lesson?content_action=show_dev

y = -2(x^2+2x - 3) = -2(x^2+2x + 1) -1 -3) = -2(x+1)^2 +8
the vertex form of a Parabola opening up(a>0) or down(a<0),
where(h,k) is the vertex and x = h is the Line of Symmetry
y = -2(x+1)^2 + 8
