You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1) the vertex lies on the axis of symmetry ___ the equation is x=-b/2a ___ x=-6/(2*1) ___ x=-3 ___ this is the h value\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2) the two numbers to the left (less than) of h are -5 and -4
\n" ); document.write( "___ the two to the right (greater than) are -2 and -1
\n" ); document.write( "___ plug the numbers as x-values into f(x) and find the corresponding y-values ___ y IS f(x); same thing, different name
\n" ); document.write( "___ enter the values in the table
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
