You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You should be able to handle what you want when you understand this:

Factorize a -1 before putting your equation into vertex (standard) form; note that the parabola will have vertex as a maximum value.

x=0 gives the y-intercept.

y=0 gives the x-intercepts (if they are REAL).

You will need to say what DNE stands for.
