\n" );
document.write( " y= -x^2+2x-2   |Note use of ^ for squared term
\n" );
document.write( " y-intercept (when x = 0)  Pt(0,-2)\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "y= -(x-1)^2 -1   |completing the square  Vertex Pt(1,-1)
\n" );
document.write( " x-intercept (when y = 0)
\n" );
document.write( "-(x-1)^2 -1 =0
\n" );
document.write( "   (x-1)^2 = -1  NO real roots, Parabola does not cross the x-axis
\n" );
document.write( "   x = 1 ± sqrt(-1)
