You have the vertex and y-intercept wrong. Here is the model to follow: f(x) = a(x - h)² + k has: vertex: (h,k) axis of symmetry: x = h y-intercept: (0,ah²+k) Domain: all real numbers (-∞, ∞) Range: if a > 0, range is [k, ∞) if a < 0, range is (-∞, k] x-intercepts a(x - h)² + k = 0 a(x - h)² = -k (x - h)² = -k/a ____ x - h = ±Ö-k/a ____ x = h ± Ö-k/a x intercepts are: ____ (x - h - Ö-k/a, 0) and ____ (x - h + Ö-k/a, 0) Now substitute the proper numbers for a, h, k, in all those. [Don't let the clashing notation of h and h(x) confuse you, they are not the same at all. To avoid confusion use H(x) instead of h(x)]. Edwin
