Question 55971: I'm in Chapter 6 section 6. Its about Alalyzing Graphs of Quadratic Functions. the problem looks like this: y=5x(squared) -6
my question is when you write the quadratic funcionin vertex form, do you factor out a 5 and just have your x*x remaining and then subtract 6, or do you have x*x squared?

Question 58609: I needed to find the vertex of this parabola: y = -x^2 - 3x - 2
so what I did was:
0 = -x^2 - 3x - 2
x = -1, x = -2
Two x-intercepts: (-1, 0) and (-2, 0)
y = -0^2 - 3(0) - 2 = -2
One y-intercept: (0, -2)
x = 1/2(-1 - 2) = -3/2
y = -3/2
y = -3/2 - 2)-3/2) - 2 = 1.5
Vertex is -3/2, 1.5
Is this correct?
